Three men fight at a Taco Bell and one lands in the hospital, police say

Three men clashed inside a Hialeah Taco Bell on Monday night, leaving one with stab wounds and two taken into custody, Miami-Dade police said.

The fight happened inside the Taco Bell at 18750 Northwest 67th Avenue around 8 p.m. Monday.

“Upon officers’ arrival, they discovered an adult male victim suffering from apparent knife wounds. The victim was transported to Aventura Hospital in stable condition,” said Det. Lee Cowart, Miami-Dade Police spokesman.



Police have not released any of the names and are investigating.
