Video taken in downtown Miami showed the moments when a man, who police said became aggressive<\/a>, was tased, pepper-sprayed and shot.<\/p>\n

According to Miami Police, officers on Saturday were told by a person that there was some type of argument happening at the Eve Hotel on Biscayne Boulevard.<\/p>\n

Police said that the argument escalated and the person became aggressive towards officers.<\/p>\n

Cellphone video showed the suspect, who was shirtless and standing in front of the hotel valet, when a female officer who was behind him pointed a Taser and deployed it when he turned around.<\/p>\n

The man then fell, and several female officers were seen jumping in, as one appeared to pepper-spray him.<\/p>\n

During the confrontation, the man was seen standing up and walking towards the officers, and gunshots were heard ringing out after an officer fired their weapon.<\/p>\n

It then took several officers to put the man down before he was detained and placed in handcuffs.<\/p>\n

Another video showed restraints around his upper leg and ankles<\/p>\n

“It appears that the offender has non-life-threatening injuries at this time,” Miami Police Chief Manny Morales said. “One of the officers was injured and is getting treated at Jackson Memorial Hospital.<\/p>\n

The shooting happened just across the street from the Ultra Music Festival, but it didn’t happen during festival hours, as hundreds of thousands packed downtown for Miami Music Week.<\/p>\n

“It could\u2019ve gone worse,” said a festivalgoer. “I totally feel safe.”<\/p>\n

Festivalgoers Evan and Dani told NBC6 that they still feel safe after watching the video, and said the heavy police presence across the area is the reason why.<\/p>\n

“I have been to Ultra many times, and every year, I have always felt incredibly safe,” Dani said. “Just out walking around alone right now, I feel safe. There are so many law enforcement officers everywhere, and I know they would be ready to jump in if anything were to happen.”<\/p>\n

The man who was shot remains in stable condition and is still in the hospital.<\/p>\n

His identity and the charges he faces were not released.<\/p>\n

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement will take over the investigation, which is standard whenever there is a police-involved shooting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Video taken in downtown Miami showed the moments when a man, who police said became aggressive, was tased,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":211077,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[123,125,124,2033],"class_list":{"0":"post-211076","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-miami","8":"tag-miami","9":"tag-miami-headlines","10":"tag-miami-news","11":"tag-only-on-6"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/211076","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=211076"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/211076\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/211077"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=211076"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=211076"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=211076"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
