An early morning rideshare trip in Miami Beach turned dangerous when a passenger brandished a firearm during a ride. According to police reports, the driver picked up the passenger around 4:30 a.m. on Ocean Drive. Upon arriving at the drop-off location near Northeast Third Street and 82nd Terrace in Miami, the passenger fired a shot before exiting the vehicle. Fortunately, no one was injured during the ordeal.
