NORTH MIAMI BEACH, Fla. – The victim in a vicious robbery and beating is speaking about the frightening ordeal.
“He puts the gun to my head and ask where the money is,” said the man, who asked not to have his identity revealed.
It was a 20 minute beatdown of employees on Wednesday, July 12, at Wholesale Smoke Shop at 241 NE 167th St. in North Miami Beach.

He added the only thing going through his mind was his family.
“I was praying that I would come out if this,” he said.
