It was enough for 68-year-old Manuel Casabielle to confront the angry customer.

“He was calling her bad names like this is s***in Spanish, your s***, this is s***, this place sucks,” he said.

Video shows the man shove Casabielle into shelves.

Casabielle said he could not defend himself after a recent surgery.

“I found out that guy had been there before, doesn’t say and nobody done anything, so this night at that time nobody was doing anything,” he said. “I felt somebody had to get involved. This is a big bully, trying to bully this poor woman.”

Casabielle says he went to the store off Southwest 13th Street to pick up medicine when he ran into the angry man.

Before police arrived, the other man left. Casabielle said he wants this person arrested and charged.

“(I want) for this man to go to jail for a long time,” he said. “He’s dangerous and he’s just mean spirited, just ugly, bad person. He should go to jail.”

Miami police officers are looking for the man, and Casabielle said he is confident an arrest will be made.

Authorities are urging anyone who recognizes the man to call Miami police of Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS.
