Suspect Arrested After Video Shows Sucker‑Punch That Left 61‑Year‑Old Bleeding in Little Havana

A 40-year-old man has been charged and investigators are probing motive while limited official information is available about the victim's condition.

Overview

  • Security cameras in front of Calle Ocho Sports Bar captured a man suddenly sucker‑punching a 61-year-old woman and knocking her to the sidewalk.
  • Bystanders and the bar owner immediately helped the injured woman and called 911 before paramedics arrived.
  • The bar owner reviewed footage, canvassed nearby businesses for cameras, and gave that material to Miami Police, who identified and arrested 40-year-old Tavaris Dewand Greene.
  • Greene was charged with battery, later reported by outlets as felony battery, and appeared in bond court where officials said the victim suffered a fractured nose, facial lacerations, and will need sutures.
  • Police continue to investigate motive after Greene told detectives he “had a bad day,” and the victim’s current medical status remains limited in public reports.
