A Miami man was arrested after police say he shouted racial slurs, created a public disturbance and fought with officers outside of Palm Tree Club in North Bay Village.
According to the arrest report, 30-year-old AT.G was taken into custody just before midnight on Wednesday outside the Palm Tree Club on Kennedy Causeway, where an officer working an extra-duty detail reported seeing him yelling profanities and racial slurs at an employee near the VIP entrance.
Police said G continued shouting as he was escorted off the property, drawing a large crowd of bystanders and causing traffic to stop along the busy roadway.
Once on the sidewalk, officers said he again yelled slurs, creating what they described as a public safety hazard.
When an officer attempted to arrest him, G ran, according to the report.
The report states that the officer chased him but fell before catching up moments later.
As officers tried to detain him, they said G flailed his arms and legs, kicked at them and grabbed at an officer’s hair and another officer’s neck, according to the report.
A supervising sergeant deployed a Taser to gain compliance, and officers eventually handcuffed G, the report states.
A North Bay Village police officer suffered minor injuries, including abrasions and knee injuries, and was treated at the scene by Miami-Dade Fire Rescue.
Police said G initially refused to identify himself and was later confirmed through a Rapid ID fingerprint scan.
He was medically cleared at Jackson West Hospital before being taken to the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center.
He faces multiple charges, including battery on a law enforcement officer, resisting an officer with violence, resisting without violence and disorderly intoxication.
