Miami-Dade Police told Local 10 News that they responded to the scene, but the victim did not want to press charges.

The victim was treated for minor injuries at the scene by Miami-Dade Fire Rescue.

According to the witness, airport police stayed at the scene for over an hour.

A raft of COVID-19 restrictions were lifted in Miami-Dade on April 6, leaving only general regulations on masks and spacing and a few restrictions targeting specific industries.

The rules quashed in the party town included a ban on boats rafting up with each other as well as a rule in bars requiring 10 feet between customers and performers.

The regulation was reportedly designed to ban lap dances at strip clubs.
