1 initially detained after Miami Beach road rage incident involving fireworks

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. – Miami Beach police are investigating a bizarre case of road rage.

The incident occurred late Sunday night on the MacArthur Causeway near Bridge Road.

Police were seen focusing on a red and blue vehicle pulled over on the side of the road.

Officers said there was some type of a road rage incident involving fireworks, but they didn’t elaborate, so we don’t know if one driver started shooting fireworks or throwing fireworks at the other driver.

What we do know is one man was placed into handcuffs and put into a prisoner transport van, however Miami Beach police spokesman Ernesto Rodriguez said he didn’t believe any arrests were actually made.

The man who was placed into handcuffs may have been the driver of the blue car.

The driver of the red car was allowed to drive away.

At one point, both the east and westbound lanes of the MacArthur Causeway were shut down.

By 10:45 p.m., police had reopened the westbound lanes.

The eastbound lanes reopened around 11:30 p.m.

No injuries were reported in the road rage incident.
