MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. — A brawl between two groups of people at a southwest Miami-Dade Publix on Thursday evening led to at least one arrest, deputies said.
Climont Mann, 20, is facing a felony charge after he wielded a “metal shelf” in the fight, according to the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office.
According to MDSO, it happened at around 6 p.m. at the Publix at the Colonial Plaza Shopping Center, located at 9510 SW 160th St. in the unincorporated Palmetto Estates area.
According to an arrest report, a security guard told deputies that the fracas began as an “aggressive verbal altercation” between the two groups in the store’s entrance area.
A bystander video shared with Local 10 News begins by showing two women fighting on the floor near the store’s greeting card display.
The video shows what deputies say is a shirtless Mann going up to two women brawling over a portion of a shelf that once held the cards that became dislodged ― so too did one of the women’s wigs ― in the midst of the altercation and using it to deliver three separate blows as the women continued brawling.
A responding deputy eventually “witnessed two large parties of people” in front of the store “throwing plates and other items at each other,” according to the report.
Both parties were trespassed from the store, it states. The report doesn’t state what the fight was about.
Mann, who lives about a mile away from the store, was arrested on charges of aggravated battery, criminal mischief and disorderly conduct.
The criminal mischief charge was later dropped in bond court.
As of Friday, he was being held in the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center on a $5,150 bond.
