Man accused of vandalizing pro-Israel sign at Miami Beach business booked into Miami-Dade jail
MIAMI BEACH, Fla. – A 24-year-old man who is accused of vandalizing a pro-Israel sign at a Miami Beach business was transferred Wednesday to the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center, nearly a week after being arrested in Broward County.
Nour Abaido, of Coral Springs, was arrested last Friday and is facing a charge of criminal mischief with prejudice for damages over $200.
The hate crime happened in late October at Bagel Time Cafe, located at 3915 Alton Road in Miami Beach, just south of 41st Street.
The business had placed a banner up, stating “Bagel Time proudly stands with Israel.”
Police said Abaido was seen in the video exiting his vehicle after stopping in the middle of traffic, trying to take down the sign and then slashing it after he failed.
Authorities said he was caught on camera causing significant damage to the sign, which was valued at approximately $400.
Investigators are also searching for a woman who they said was caught on surveillance video vandalizing an Israeli and an American flag placed outside the same bagel shop earlier that week.
Police have not said if the two incidents are connected.
The public may report any suspected hate crimes in the county to the state attorney’s office by calling its “Hate Crime Hotline” at 786-687-2566.
Anyone with information on either case is also urged to call Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-8477.

Penn State transfer portal target, Pa. native commits to Miami
Penn State had a successful Saturday, beating SMU in the College Football Playoff first round in convincing fashion. But not everything went the Nittany Lions’ way.
David Blay, one of Penn State’s top targets in the transfer portal, committed to Miami. The news was reported by on3 on Saturday afternoon.
In addition to Penn State and Miami, Blay was also being pursued by Florida State, Illinois, Oklahoma, USC, Wisconsin, Mississippi State and Arkansas.
Blay, a standout at Louisiana Tech who visited last weekend, was a top target for the Nittany Lions as they look to add depth and talent to their defensive line for the 2025 season.
Blay is a Levittown native who played at Harry S. Truman High School outside Philadelphia before going to West Chester to play at the Division II level in 2021 and 2022. Blay transferred to Louisiana Tech, where he was a first-team All-Conference USA selection this year.
Blay finished the 2024 season with 46 tackles, 10 1/2 tackles for loss and 6 1/2 sacks.
Penn State has addressed a couple needs in the portal so far in the winter window, earning commitments from USC wide receiver Kyron Hudson and Texas A&M defensive end Enai White. But the Nittany Lions would love to add a defensive tackle or two.
