A man who was shot by a Miami Shores cop as he allegedly charged at the officer with a sword last month<\/a> made his first appearance before a judge from a hospital bed on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Barry Bienaime, 32, is facing charges of attempted first-degree murder, possession of drug paraphernalia, and criminal mischief in the June 21 incident.<\/p>\n

Miami Shores Police officers had initially responded to Tropical Chevrolet on Biscayne Boulevard after employees called 911 to report a man was openly carrying a “machete,” an arrest report said.<\/p>\n

According to the report, Bienaime entered the dealership and asked about buying a vehicle, but was confronted by the manager about the weapon he was carrying.<\/p>\n

Bienaime took a stance and gripped the handle of the weapon, described as a katana, before he became irate and left the dealership, the report said.<\/p>\n

As he left, Bienaime unsheathed the katana and slashed the rear windshield of a vehicle, the report said.<\/p>\n

When an officer arrived he spotted Bienaime, who crossed across five lanes of traffic on Biscayne Boulevard while gripping the katana, the report said.<\/p>\n

As the officer got out of his vehicle, Bienaime raised the katana over his head and charged at the officer, who told him to drop the weapon, the report said.<\/p>\n

Bienaime ignored the officers orders and “closed distance rapidly,” and that’s when the officer opened fire, hitting him in the abdomen and elbow\/biceps area, the report said.<\/p>\n

Cell phone video showed the shooting unfold in broad daylight on the busy roadway, with at least four gunshots ringing out in the footage.<\/p>\n

Bienaime was taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital’s Ryder Trauma Center for treatment. No officers or civilians were injured.<\/p>\n

When police searched Bienaime’s property they found a scale, three grinders, rolling paper and a lighter, the report said.<\/p>\n

Bienaime appeared before a judge by video from his hospital bed on Thursday, and was ordered held without bond.<\/p>\n

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement is investigating the incident, which is standard practice in police shootings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A man who was shot by a Miami Shores cop as he allegedly charged at the officer with…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":334683,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[1009,123,125,124,2601],"class_list":["post-334682","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-miami","tag-caught-on-camera","tag-miami","tag-miami-headlines","tag-miami-news","tag-miami-shores"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/334682","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=334682"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/334682\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/334683"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=334682"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=334682"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=334682"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
