A viral Clavicular Miami citizen arrest video shows the influencer, whose real name is Braden Peters, being grabbed by two men and taken down in a parking lot near Miami City Hall on Friday night, according to TMZ.
The clip, posted on X by DramaAlert, shows two men holding Clavicular on the asphalt while saying they are carrying out a “citizen's arrest.” The footage does not show what happened before the confrontation, and TMZ reported it was not clear what the men believed he had done.
What happened to Clavicular in Miami?
In the video described by TMZ, Clavicular is pinned on his back and appears to have little room to move. Another person identified by TMZ as his close friend Drago is seen arguing with one of the men involved in the attempted detention.
DramaAlert’s post on X claimed Clavicular was nearly choked out, but the underlying facts of the altercation remain unsettled. The video captures a heated scene, though it does not provide a clear explanation for why the physical confrontation started.
TMZ reported that Miami police eventually arrived. The footage showed Clavicular and the men who grabbed him giving officers different accounts, but their remarks could not be clearly heard in the video.
No arrest was apparent from the scene, according to TMZ. The outlet also reported that Clavicular did not appear in Miami-Dade jail inmate records after the incident.
What did Clavicular say after the video spread?
Clavicular addressed the episode Saturday morning on X by reposting a video shared by Drago and praising his friend’s role during the parking lot chaos.
“Drago is my right hand man, absolute legend. W Drago,” Clavicular wrote on X, according to TMZ.
The post suggested he was treating the incident lightly online, though TMZ did not report any fuller account from Clavicular about what led to the takedown.
What is a citizen's arrest?
A citizen's arrest is a claim that a private person, rather than a police officer, is detaining someone they believe broke the law. Rules vary by place, and the video does not establish whether the men had any legal basis for what they did.
TMZ said it contacted Miami police for more information and had not received a response at the time of its report.
Has Clavicular faced police issues before?
TMZ reported that the Miami incident follows a prior legal episode in March, when Clavicular was arrested and charged with misdemeanor battery. Police said at the time that he instigated a fight involving a 19-year-old woman and his then-girlfriend, Violet, who was 24.
Sources close to Clavicular disputed the police account in that March case, according to TMZ. No additional details about the outcome of that charge were included in the report.
For now, the Miami video leaves the biggest questions unanswered: what sparked the clash, why the two men believed they could detain him, and whether police will take any further action.
