The incident took place near Northeast 1st Avenue and 32nd Street. According to the Miami Police Department, the officers responded to the area when they received complaints about a driver who attempted to drive away after committing a hit-and-run.

The video, which has since then gained more than 467,000 likes on Instagram, showed a woman trying to block the Mercedes that tried to run after hitting her red Tesla.

The police also said that the incident started when the Mercedes tried to flee after hitting the Tesla. 

The woman could be heard screaming, "You hit my car! Look at what you did!" while slamming on the car's hood. "You hit my car! You're running away, and you hit my car."

While the other bystanders tried asking her to get away from the car’s path as the Mercedes still attempted to move, she refused, before shouting defiantly, "She's gonna kill me?"

The Tesla driver said, "Get her license plate!"

When another person tried to intervene, the white Mercedes attempted to flee by reversing.

Nevertheless, it got stuck in the traffic commotion created at the intersection and ended up hitting another car. 

The video showed another man banging at the Mercedes’ window, and ended with the police taking away a woman, presumably the Mercedes’ driver, in handcuffs. 

The Miami police said that the driver was taken into custody and will be facing charges.

A Tesla owner announced a $25,000 reward for information about a vandal

The latest incident regarding Tesla happened just a few days after a California resident announced a reward of $25,000 for information about the miscreant who vandalized his Tesla Cybertruck with a cement block when it was parked in his home. 

Appearing on 'Fox & Friends' on April 3, Jason Bedell announced that he would be giving the amount to whoever tipped him about the miscreant. 

"An example does need to be made here," claimed Bedell, before explaining, "That is one of the reasons why I'm offering such a large cash reward for the person that did this," as reported by Fox News. 

He further added, "When I drive my Teslas around, I get a lot of middle fingers, a lot a thumbs down, a lot of really hard stares. But I'm not going to be scared … I'm going to keep driving my Tesla."

The incidents came on the heels of the widespread nationwide protest against Tesla after the CEO of the EV company, Elon Musk, was installed as the head of the Donald Trump administration's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
