Man Arrested for Knife Threat on Michael B. Jordan's Miami Vice '85 Set in Brooklyn
Filming of Michael B. Jordan's Miami Vice '85 in Brooklyn was disrupted on October 23 when a 23-year-old man, Alex Perez, allegedly entered the set carrying a large butcher's knife and threatened crew members. Police arrested Perez without incident, recovering the weapon. No injuries were reported. The suspect faces charges including menacing with a weapon and criminal possession of a weapon. It remains unclear if Jordan or co-star Austin Butler were present during the incident. Perez reportedly has prior arrests, but those are not proof of guilt in this case.
