American actor Michael B. Jordan and Austin Butler were interrupted after a man allegedly threatened a production crew member with a butcher knife in Brooklyn, New York, on October 23.
According to reports issued by the crew, the incident began around 11 PM when a 23-year-old man identified by police as Alex Perez allegedly entered the filming location and disrupted the production.
“The individual was then taken into custody without incident, and the knife was recovered,” NYPD said.
He reportedly became involved in a confrontation with a 43-year-old male crew member before allegedly producing the knife. The incident occurred near Bay Parkway and McDonald Avenue, close to Washington Cemetery during the shooting of “Miami Vice 85.”
The alleged threat was directed at the crew member, and authorities have not indicated whether Jordan or Butler were specifically the target. No injuries were reported, although filming reportedly stopped for the remainder of the night.
Perez was charged with menacing and criminal possession of a weapon.
The film “Miami Vice 85,” is directed by Joseph Kosinski, where Jordan plays undercover detective Ricardo, while Butler portrays his partner, James “Sonny” Crockett.
The film also features Walton Goggins, John Leguizamo, André Holland, Alden Ehrenreich, Whitney Peak, Camila Morrone and Danny Ramirez.
The film is scheduled for theatrical release on May 19, 2028.
