Aaron K Quinones: Florida guy nearly strangles woman with SHOELACE at bus stop
MIAMI, FLORIDA: A horrifying video shows a Florida guy sneaking up behind a lady at a bus stop and attempting to strangle her with a shoelace before pummeling her as she struggles for her life. After the attack in broad daylight at a Miami-Dade transit bus stop, Aaron K Quinones, 27, was charged with attempted felony murder, officials said. The 26-year-old victim was attacked while waiting for the bus on January 2 at 11 am, according to the Miami-Dade Police Department.
In the security footage, the victim can be seen sitting on a seat, seemingly texting. The attacker stands behind her, and then put one of his legs on the long seat to appear to be tying his shoe. As he nonchalantly approaches up behind the victim and pulls the lace around her neck, he anxiously looks around and seems to take the lace off. The victim struggles to break away from the suspect's clutches, but the suspect keeps on strangling her. As a Good Samaritan comes to intervene, the victim tried to fight back and a violent battle starts. The attacker thrashes around, throwing multiple wild fists at the victim.
