MIAMI BEACH, Fla. — A bachelor party trip to Miami Beach went seriously south after two friends started bickering over one of them scoring a monopoly on women’s attention, according to police. Authorities said it devolved into a stabbing on South Beach ― and a New England man on vacation found himself making a remote court appearance from a Miami hospital bed Tuesday morning.
According to the Miami Beach Police Department, the stabbing happened just after 2:30 a.m. Sunday in the 1200 block of Ocean Drive.
An MBPD arrest report states that a guy, 32, of Marstons Mills, Massachusetts, was in town with the victim and two other friends for the bachelor party.
According to the report, witnesses said the group had “met some girls in the bars of Ocean Drive” and the victim “became agitated with the girls only giving attention.”
Authorities said as they left a bar to get in their vehicle, the victim began arguing about “the girls going with them in the car.”
According to police, witnesses told detectives that the argument “escalated” and the victim told police that the guy approached him and told him to “get out of the vehicle.”
The report states that after the victim said he didn’t have to get out, the guy stabbed him in the abdomen. Police said the victim stabbed Dickerson back in self-defense. Both would eventually be taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami.
According to police, “all witnesses” said they saw blood “immediately” after the guy approached the victim.
Police said the victim later told them that he “knew the guy was carrying a knife throughout the night” and said that at the bars, “security guards would pat down” the guy “and remove the knife.”
“After they left the bar, security would return the knife,” the MBPD report states.
Detectives said that the guy told them that the group was out drinking and he “remember(ed) nothing else” about the night and claimed he “never had a knife,” denying that he was ever in a fight with his friend.
The guy now faces a charge of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon.
In Tuesday morning’s remote court appearance, a judge ordered that the guy be held without bond and ordered him to stay away from his friend.
As of Tuesday evening, the guy was being held at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center without bond.
