In a startling incident on Friday night, a 23-year-old man was taken into custody near the filming location of “Miami Vice ’85,” a new movie featuring Michael B. Jordan and Austin Butler. The arrest occurred in Brooklyn, New York, after the suspect allegedly brandished a knife during a verbal altercation.
According to the New York City Police Department, Alex Perez was arrested around 11 p.m. at Avenue N and McDonald Avenue. The confrontation did not result in any injuries, and the police managed to apprehend Perez without further incident.
Authorities confirmed the recovery of the weapon involved, and Perez now faces charges of menacing and criminal possession of a weapon. As of now, it remains unclear whether he has obtained legal representation.
The filming of “Miami Vice ’85,” which is directed by Joseph Kosinski, was underway in the vicinity of Bay Parkway and McDonald Avenue, close to Washington Cemetery, at the time of the incident.
