Miami Beach police say John Albert Gladney Jr., who is listed as homeless in his arrest report, approached a woman sitting at one of the outdoor tables. They said Gladney made a comment to her, which prompted her partner, a man, to intervene and punch him in the face.
In retaliation, police said Gladney pulled out a knife and began slashing both victims, leaving them wounded on the street. Multiple surveillance camera angles captured the violent attack, showing Gladney wielding the knife as he assaulted the couple, according to investigators.
An arrest report states that bystanders quickly rushed to help, with one witness applying pressure to the man’s neck after seeing blood spurting from a deep wound.
Miami Beach police said officers responded promptly to the scene, where paramedics treated the victims before transporting the couple to Jackson Memorial Hospital’s Ryder Trauma Center.
Authorities said both victims, in their 30s, suffered non-life-threatening injuries. The woman sustained stab wounds to her right shoulder, under her right arm and near her left shoulder, while her partner was cut on the neck, back, and both sides of his chest, the report stated.

Investigators obtained additional surveillance footage, which showed Gladney running away from the scene with the knife still in his hand, heading toward a nearby block.
Detectives discovered that Gladney had dropped his cellphone and sunglasses at the scene. Using the cellphone as evidence, they were able to eventually track him down just a few blocks away from the crime scene, according to the report.
Gladney’s arrest report did not state the nature of the alleged comment toward the woman before the argument occurred.
Jail records show he is facing two counts of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon.
As of Tuesday, Gladney is being held without bond at the Metrowest Detention Center.
