MIAMI — A man is facing charges following accusations that he opened fire on a vehicle in Miami Beach Saturday night after he saw two men in it who he thought were Palestinians, arrest documents said.
Mordechai Brafman, 27, was arrested and charged with two counts of attempted murder for the shooting.
Around 9:30 p.m., surveillance video captured Brafman's truck traveling south on Pine Tree Drive and making a U-turn at 48th Street, where the victims' vehicle was stopped just north of 48th in the left lane.
At that point, Brafman drove by and stopped directly in front of them in the right lane, where he left his vehicle and shot at the victims' vehicle "17 times, unprovoked, striking both victims" as they passed him, arrest documents said.
In an interview with CBS News Miami on Monday, Ari Rabi, an Israeli tourist and one of the victims, said he and his father were visiting Miami Beach when someone opened fire on them. Rabi said he was shot in the left shoulder while his father was grazed by a bullet in the left forearm.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom. I got hit in the shoulder. One of the bullets missed my father's head," Rabi said through his cousin, who served as an interpreter.
According to Rabi, neither he nor his father knew Brafman prior to the incident. Rabi clarified that they're not Palestinian.
Following the shooting, Brafman then drove to an area near 4887 Pine Tree Dr., where he was then taken into custody by responding officers, arrest report stated.

Is it not entertaining to see what our loathsome media choose to report on in today’s world?
This is one of N proofs (N is really really big) why a journalism degree is rated right down there with a studies degree.
Maybe he revognized them as Hamas “asylum seekers”...
I’m not laughing...
Everything that can be used to smear the right, will be
reported broadly. Anything showing the right to be good
people will not be reported... anywhere.
This is unfortunate if the facts are correct. All it
does is feed our enemies.
This is impossible because Jews don’t drive trucks.
(ducks!)
True. But if anyone is looking at it objectively, the real story is how rare such occurrences are. If the perpetrator had been a Muslim, the almost unanimous reaction would have been “Not again?”. Or to use a little humor to make the same point - Jews aren’t very good terrorists. On the rare occasion they try, they end up botching it..
Good point! Lol.
Good points....
