Wild videos posted to social media shows the shocking moment a Florida Ferris Wheel operator attacks a Black mom who tried getting off the ride with her kids!

In another 38 second clip of the incident that occurred at the Opa Locka Hialeah Flea Market on Saturday night showed the wheel coming to a halt, as the worker holds the carriage steady for a woman and two children. Clearly, she was upset over his aggression and shared some words with him while waving a finger in his face. The man then jumps into a rage and launches at the woman while saying, “Get this f— off!”, grabbing and shoving her backward off the platform. The little girl holding onto her gets thrown to the ground too. The mother tries to fight back, but then all hell breaks loose with several people rushing to the platform to defend her, swinging and punching on the man.

As TooFab reports, there were no reports of any serious injuries. According to Opa-locka police, several people fled for the exits as they arrived on the scene. It was also said that they were unable to locate the employee, but did find the woman. After interviewing her on Sunday, detectives said there was “probable cause” to arrest the employee. However, it is not known if he has been apprehended yet.
“The Opa-Locka Police Department does not tolerate any criminal acts of violence and will prosecute those individuals to the fullest extent of the law,” it said in a statement.
