Miami police arrested a woman after she repeatedly punched an employee at a Planet Fitness in the Little Havana neighborhood.
The incident happened on Friday, December 12, at the Planet Fitness on SW 8th Avenue.
Cell phone video shows Kiara Bryant jumping a counter and punching a male employee in the face. The Planet Fitness employee cowered and shielded his face with his arms.
He did not fight back, but he suffered a broken nose and was transported to the hospital.
A witness said Bryant punched the employee because he asked her to lower her voice after she made a scene in the locker room.
Police confronted Bryant in the parking lot as she tried to leave. Bryant, 35, was arrested and charged with battery and disorderly conduct.
The arrest report said Bryant “was being constantly aggressive towards him while balling her fists.”
Bryant was released on $150 bond and banned from the gym.
“She took things too far, brutally battered our client, and ultimately, left him in the hospital with a broken nose and severe emotional distress,” said Alecsander Kohn, the victim’s attorney.
“This would be a case of felony battery. Hopefully, through some strong advocacy, there will be a modification of the charges to reflect the severity of the injuries he sustained,” Kohn said.
Planet Fitness said in a statement to CBS News Miami. “The safety of our employees and members is our top priority, and we have zero tolerance for violence of any kind in our clubs. We are committed to providing a safe environment. The franchise group worked closely with local police and have cancelled the member in question.”
