Brawl Erupts As Bystanders Aide A Black Woman After Carnival Employee Pushes Her Alongside Two Children
Florida police are getting closer to arresting a carnival worker who was captured on video attacking a Black woman.
Opa-locka police department reported the woman was exiting a ferris wheel ride at the Opa-locka Hialeah Flea Market with her two children when a heated verbal altercation with one of the ride’s operators went too far. Video shows the incident that took place on Saturday, April 17, showing the woman speaking and motioning her hand in the face of the operator.
The operator heard yelling “Get the f–k off my [inaudible]” as he lunged toward the woman shoved her and causes the little girl to fall to the ground. Witnesses standing nearby immediately come to the woman’s aide, throwing punches and kicks towards the man. A second carnival employee is seen in the group of people reaching toward the man, however, was unable to come to his aid.
The operator then restarted the ride — buckets could be seen going by moving dangerously fast — as tempers remained flared from the attack. Employees eventually turned off the ride, and off-duty officers working the carnival ultimately responded to the scene but were unable to immediately locate the woman. She was found hours later and provided police with a written statement about what occurred at the ride.
Police issued the following statement:
“Our detectives have interviewed and secured a written statement from the victim and probable cause exists to arrest the carnival employee depicted in the video. The Opa-Locka Police Department does not tolerate any criminal acts of violence and will prosecute those individuals to the fullest extent of the law.”
A second video of the brawl shows the same ride operator lunging at a colleague.
“I can not believe what I just saw. That child was still holding on to the ride & mother was still standing up when he pressed the button. He could’ve killed them both.”
“He deserves a LOT more. He used that ride as a weapon. Put his hands on two people.”
NBC 6 was reported that Hildebrand Amusement Rides says the employee has been suspended and is talking to police.
