A man allegedly shoved a waitress to the ground at Hard Rock Cafe in downtown Miami after being told not to eat drink garnishes. He\u2019s now jailed for battery.<\/p>\n
A Texas man is behind bars after police say he shoved a waitress to the ground at the Hard Rock Cafe in downtown Miami on Sunday. Investigators said the assault happened after the waitress told the man, who had wandered into an employees-only area, that he could not eat the garnishes meant for drinks prepared at the bar.<\/p>\n
Police say 47-year-old Daniel Ramirez took off before they got there and members of his family who stayed refused to speak. Detectives say they were able to identify him after an anonymous tip came in days later, according to Ramirez\u2019s arrest affidavit.<\/p>\n
The woman who was allegedly assaulted told police that she told Ramirez he could not eat the garnishes, and he responded, \u201cB—- what do you want me to do, spit it out?,\u201d his arrest paperworks reads.<\/p>\n
After they had both left the bar area, police say, the waitress was called over by her manager because Ramirez had made a complaint about her.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe defendant told the manager that no woman was allowed to tell him what to do and that the victim needed to be reprimanded,\u201d police wrote in Ramirez\u2019s arrest affidavit.<\/p>\n
At round 6:30 p.m., the waitress entered the Bayside Marketplace caf\u00e9 through the front entrance to talk to a coworker when Ramirez roughly shoved her to the ground, causing her to hit a metal rack and chip her tooth, police say.<\/p>\n
The woman saw Ramirez running out of the caf\u00e9, and followed him out while using a phone to take pictures of him. When Ramirez noticed he was being photographed, he struck the cellphone out of her hand and pushed in her face, making her fall to the ground once again, police say.<\/p>\n
Ramirez yelled at her with his fists balled up as she stood up, police say. The woman said she later lost consciousness.<\/p>\n
A video of the assault was uploaded to the popular social media page \u201cOnly in Dade,\u201d prior to Ramirez\u2019s arrest. Police circulated images of Ramirez. Investigators identified him after a tip came in, and the waitress identified him in a photo lineup on Thursday.<\/p>\n
On Friday, Ramirez was detained by United States Customs and Border Protection at a Royal Caribbean Cruise terminal and handed over to Miami Police.<\/p>\n
Jail records show that Ramirez is locked up at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center and has a bond status of \u201cto be set.\u201d He\u2019s charged with felony battery.<\/p>\n
