MIAMI — Miami police have arrested two additional men in connection with a violent beating last month that they said left a man critically injured.
Herman Rodriguez, 22, Jacarie Joseph, 34, and Nickles St. Fleur, 33, are each facing charges of second-degree attempted murder and strongarm robbery, according to jail records obtained by Local 10 News on Friday.
The attack happened on Jan. 30 just before 5 a.m. behind 1164 W. Flagler St. in the city’s Riverside neighborhood.
According to an arrest report, the victim was behind the building with the three men when Rodriguez told him to “get the f— on” and pushed him. When the victim stood up, police said Rodriguez punched him in the face and the victim punched Rodriguez back.
Investigators said shortly after, the three men then beat the victim for about nine minutes, pushing, punching and kicking him in the face and head.
Surveillance video with audio captured the entire incident, according to police.
They said the video shows the men patting the victim down while he was on the ground. Rodriguez was seen punching and kicking the victim in the head, pressing his head to the ground and stomping on it multiple times.
During the assault, one of the men is heard saying, “What’s that in your pocket? Didn’t I tell you to go?” The attackers also repeatedly demanded the passcode to the victim’s phone, according to the report.
After the beating, Rodriguez and St. Fleur fled south through a parking lot, while Joseph ran west toward 12th Avenue, police said.
As they fled, one of the men was heard saying, “The way I kicked him, he’s going to die slow,” the report stated.

Despite his injuries, the victim walked to a 7-Eleven at 812 SW Eighth St., where police and Miami Fire Rescue responded.
Authroities said he was transported to Jackson Memorial Hospital’s Ryder Trauma Center with severe blunt-force head trauma and significant intracranial hemorrhaging. Authorities said he was intubated and remains unconscious in the intensive care unit.
Investigators said video from a nearby store clearly captured Rodriguez’s face and distinctive tattoos, including a cross below his left eye and multiple tattoos on his arm.
A records check also showed that he was on felony probation at the time and in custody at the Broward Main Jail on a probation violation warrant when detectives interviewed him on Feb. 7.
Records show all three men are being held without bond. Rodriguez is being held at the Miami-Dade Pre-Trial Detention Center, while St. Fleur and Joseph are being held at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center.
A motive for the attack has not been released.
