Overview
- The attack began after the worker told a customer to stop eating employee-only garnishes, and the customer shoved her to the floor inside the Hard Rock Cafe then assaulted her again outside.
- The worker suffered a concussion, bruising, and a broken tooth that required emergency dental treatment and says she is too frightened to return to the job.
- Surveillance video of the two assaults was circulated online and reposted by an influencer, widening public visibility and driving calls for help identifying the man.
- City of Miami Police have taken a report, reviewed video with the victim, and are asking the public to call 305-603-6640 with tips while detectives have not publicly identified or charged a suspect.
- The victim and local outlets say restaurant staff and bystanders did not intervene, and the case has sparked broader concern about violence against service workers and women.
