Video captured by Only in Dade shows a man being tackled by a loss prevention officer after allegedly stealing an item from inside a Brickell City Centre store.
Miami Police said the incident took place Sunday around 6 p.m. after officers responded following a call about a theft from Saks.
Video showed the loss prevention officer bringing the suspect, later identified as 32-year-old Ruben Caicedo, to the ground and the two begin to physically fight. Caicedo appears to be holding a small hatchet during the incident and tried to hit the officer with a luggage bag.
Miami Police took Caicedo into custody, saying they found a pocket knife on him.
