Months after a nurse who was injured by a patient while on the job announced her lawsuit against her employer, 7News has obtained surveillance video of the chilling attack. Two camera angles captured emergency room nurse Yanira Eguileor and her colleagues under attack by the raging patient at Jackson Memorial Hospital on May 30. “It was a total of three bashes to the head, and he threw me to the floor. I covered my face with my hands,” said Eguileor. Eguileor said the man, identified as Wenyou Rubin, put his sights on her when she defended a colleague who had been hit. “I heard a loud scream from one of the staff members, a female. I turned around, and this man is running after her, toward the nurse’s station. That’s when I turned around, and I went towards them, and he was about to strike her, and I said, ‘No! Don’t hit her.’ He turned around, and he punched me,” she recalled. 7News spoke to the injured nurse weeks after the brutal beating. During the interview, she revealed she decided to file a lawsuit against her employer, Jackson Memorial Hospital. Eguileor said her colleagues rushed to her aid upon seeing her being attacked and were able to restrain the angry patient on the ground. “The staff took me into a room and put me as a patient,” she said about the aftermath. Video shows Eguileor being treated by her coworkers, who decided to begin conducting multiple tests and scans of her injuries. Speaking to 7News in the aftermath, Michael Pizzi, the victim’s attorney, said the attack could’ve ended much worse. “You’ve got nurses who could’ve been killed. So horrific, it’s hard to watch,” he said. Pizzi said he had to file a second lawsuit to get Jackson Health System to turn over the surveillance footage of the attack. His initial civil lawsuit cites a lack of workplace security. “Police never showed up, and security showed up after it was over and the damage was done,” said Pizzi. In a statement, Jackson Memorial Hospital said it has “four dedicated Jackson public safety specialists assigned to the Jackson Memorial Emergency Room 24 hours a day, seven days a week,” in addition to “two off-duty Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office deputies on campus at all times.” ]]> Wed 16 Sep 2026 18:54:03 +0200 https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1619783/er-nurse-brutally-attacked-while-protecting-coworker-from-patient/ https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1619772/deputies-received-a-tip-about-a-couple-being-drunk-and-asleep-in-the-sand/
Daytona Beach, Florida — Deputies received a tip about a couple being drunk and asleep in the sand. They found 27-year-olds Alyssia Langley and her fiance, Timothy Stephens passed out on the beach with several empty beer cans and an empty bottle of Crown Royal surrounding them. The couple had children’s toys around them, so when deputies were eventually able to wake the couple they asked where the children were, but they didn't seem to have a clue. At one point, the father calls out for the children at the water's edge. Deputies were able to determine their children, ages 5 and 7, were not in the ocean, but found them swimming in the pool of the hotel they were staying in. Stephens is not the biological father of the children, but Langley said he shares the responsibility of caring for them with her, therefore making him a legal guardian. The kids referred to him as “dad” and “other daddy.” Both Stephens and Langley were arrested and placed in handcuffs and began arguing with one another. At one point, Stephens runs away from the deputies and at least one chases after him. He runs a short distance before smacking into the sand and appearing to be unconscious. He was taken to a hospital for evaluation and released to the Volusia County jail hours after. Stephens faced charges of child neglect, alcohol possession and attempt to escape custody. Langley faced child neglect charges ]]> Wed 16 Sep 2026 15:14:06 +0200 https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1619772/deputies-received-a-tip-about-a-couple-being-drunk-and-asleep-in-the-sand/ https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1619703/4-people-hospitalized-after-crane-collapses-in-brickell-area-of-miami-florida/

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Eighteen men were arrested over three days as part of Operation Back to School, an undercover sting aimed at people trying to pay for sex. Vice Unit detectives led the operation, monitoring websites known for solicitation and prostitution activity. When suspects arranged meetings and arrived at a local hotel expecting a sexual encounter, undercover detectives were waiting for them. Investigators say stings like Operation Back to School are about more than just arrests — they are designed to reduce demand for prostitution, which authorities say is directly linked to human trafficking and exploitation. “Operations like this lower the demand for prostitution,” JSO said. “Prostitution fuels human trafficking and exploitation. When we reduce the demand, we help reduce human trafficking.” ]]> Mon 14 Sep 2026 13:50:03 +0200 https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1619697/jso-nabs-18-arrests-in-undercover-sting-targeting-prostitution-human-trafficking-dem/ https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1619474/motorcyclist-knocks-deputy-over-while-fleeing-traffic-stop/

Investigators are looking into what caused an Amazon cargo plane to crash in Miami, killing at least five people and injuring five others Sunday. The Boeing 767-300 cargo plane was traveling at 129 mph when it overshot the end of the runway at Miami International Airport at around 2 p.m. ET, hitting several vehicles and trapping bystanders in their cars. Miami-Dade Fire Rescue Chief Ray Jadallah said crews on the ground worked to tackle a fuel leak from the aircraft, while local news outlets reported that more than 60 MDFR units had attended the scene. ]]> Mon 07 Sep 2026 15:03:23 +0200 https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1619435/5-dead-5-injured-after-amazon-cargo-plane-overshoots-runway-at-miami-airport/ https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1619378/71-year-old-armed-woman-fatally-shot-by-florida-officers/
Video released by the Port Orange Police Department shows officers firing more than a dozen times at a 71-year-old woman who showed up armed with a gun. Surveillance video shows the woman, Linda Jean Croteau, walking into the lobby of the station holding the gun and firing it one time. She then exited the front lobby and was confronted by officers who were responding to the scene. She is told to drop the weapon but does not comply. An officer fires three times, and Croteau falls to the ground. She sits up, appears to reach for the gun, then officers fire another 10 times, audio reveals. She was taken to a hospital where she died. ]]> Fri 04 Sep 2026 21:19:03 +0200 https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1619378/71-year-old-armed-woman-fatally-shot-by-florida-officers/ https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1619360/fight-break-out-at-premium-outlets-in-orlando/

Jacksonville, FL - The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office on Thursday released officer body-worn camera video from an August shooting in which a man was killed after police say he pulled a gun on an officer. The video from Aug. 18 shows the officer, Sgt. Ray, and the man, 45-year-old Christopher Ford in a standoff, each holding guns. According to JSO, Ford approached Ray and then pulled out a gun and as he was backing up, Ford fired one shot at the officer, but it went wide and hit the building behind Ray. Ray then fired back, hitting Ford. Another officer’s body-worn camera video shows other officers who were inside the stop station run out to help Ray after they heard shots fired. Officers are seen on the video putting on gloves and handcuffing Ford as they prepared to render first aid. Ford was taken to a local hospital, but he later died. If Ford had lived, JSO said he would have been charged with attempted first-degree murder. ]]> Fri 04 Sep 2026 11:14:03 +0200 https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1619355/jacksonville-police-release-body-worn-camera-from-deadly-shooting-where-man-pulled-gu/ https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1619350/i-dont-hate-you-bro-brawl-breaks-out-inside-hardware-shop-in-florida/

HOMESTEAD, Fla. — A now-former South Florida mental health therapy intern working in Homestead was involved in an inappropriate, sexual relationship with a client, authorities said. Police arrested Michelle Luchau-Rebora, 32, of Pinecrest, on Wednesday after she turned herself in at the Homestead Police Department, which investigated the case alongside the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office. According to official documents, Luchau-Rebora was working as an intern at the New Home CORPS alcohol and drug treatment facility, located at 1020 N. Krome Ave., “in the capacity of a mental health therapist”, when, in June of last year, she started a sexual relationship with a client. Authorities said Luchau-Rebora would engage in sexual activity during therapy sessions while at the facility, adding that she also “facilitated alibis on his behalf, which allowed him authorization to leave the restricted facility and engage in sexual intercourse on multiple occasions,” at several locations, including her home, her mother’s home in Key Biscayne and at Jackson Memorial Hospital. According to deputies, Luchau-Rebora “demanded that he not tell anyone about their relationship because it will affect her ability to work as a therapist.” Based off Luchau-Rebora’s arrest reports, the victim reported the inappropriate affair to the facility after she ended the relationship and she was subsequently fired. She is now facing felony charges of sexual misconduct by a psychotherapist. As of Wednesday morning, she was being held at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center on a $5,000 bond. ]]> Fri 04 Sep 2026 09:12:06 +0200 https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1619351/homestead-addiction-rehab-intern-accused-of-sex-with-client-during-therapy/ https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1619318/man-snatches-22k-in-gold-from-florida-mall-kiosk-and-pawns-it-before-arrest/
he Broward County man who brazenly robbed a gold kiosk at the Treasure Coast Mall, snatching thousands of dollars in gold jewelry, has been identified and arrested. Martin County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigations detectives identified 25-year-old Dezmone Johnson as the thief seen in this video posing as a legitimate customer while looking at several gold chains. He then suddenly grabs the gold and runs. A second video shows Johnson at a pawn shop selling the stolen jewelry. Detectives worked with the Broward County Sheriff’s Office and the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force to locate Johnson, who was taken into custody and charged with robbery by sudden snatching. The total loss exceeded $22,000. Johnson can now add robbery to his extensive criminal history. ]]> Thu 03 Sep 2026 11:08:28 +0200 https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1619318/man-snatches-22k-in-gold-from-florida-mall-kiosk-and-pawns-it-before-arrest/
