A heated altercation at a Miami bowling alley early Tuesday morning escalated into a dangerous brawl involving at least seven individuals. The incident, which took place at Lucky Strike Miami, was captured on video and shared on social media. The footage shows a chaotic scene with objects and drinks being thrown around by the brawlers.
The situation took a turn for the worse when several bowling balls were seized from the return system and hurled at the participants. Miami Police spokesperson Michael Vega described the scene, stating that bowling balls were being thrown indiscriminately. The fight became particularly violent when a woman was struck in the head with a bowling ball, causing her to fall to the floor.
The video shows two women wrestling over a bowling ball before one breaks free and runs towards another person. The other woman then picks up another ball and throws it at the first woman, hitting her on the side of her head. The suspected thrower is then seen picking up another ball and throwing it at the crowd before being restrained and pushed away.
By the time police arrived at the scene, both parties involved in the fight had fled. Authorities are now searching for both women, who could potentially face criminal charges. According to Vega, both the victim and the suspect could be charged with vandalism and aggravated battery.
The extent of the injuries sustained by the woman struck by the bowling ball is currently unknown, as she has not yet been located by law enforcement. No other injuries were reported following the incident.
The cause of the brawl remains unclear. Investigators were at Lucky Strike Miami on Tuesday evening, interviewing witnesses and security guards. The bowling alley, located in the under-construction Miami Worldcenter in Downtown Miami, had only recently opened its doors on March 25.
