MIAMI BEACH, FLA. (WSVN) - A man was grazed on the leg by a bullet when someone opened fire in a busy part of South Beach, police said.
Miami Beach Police units responded to a call of a possible shooting along Collins Avenue, near 20th Street, Saturday evening.
Police said the victim refused medical assistance and was uncooperative with officers.
Officers temporarily shut down Collins Avenue between 18th and 20th streets while they investigated. It has since been reopened to traffic.
The incident took place as large crowds visiting the area to attend the 2021 Rolling Loud hip-hop festival flocked to South Beach, leading to a stepped-up police presence and several road closures, including several eastbound lanes along the MacArthur and Julia Tuttle causeways.
As of late Saturday night, no arrests have been reported in connection with the incident.
