This was a different kind of Miami heat.
A Porsche driver shot another motorist in the foot because he was “taking too long” parking his pick-up truck in a tight spot outside a Miami Airbnb.
Anthony Christopher Russian, a 29-year-old Tampa resident, was sitting in his white Porsche Macan on April 11 as the driver of a Toyota Tacoma struggled to back into a spot outside an Airbnb in the trendy Wynwood section of the Florida city, according to Local 10.
The impatient Porsche driver began honking aggressively at the unidentified man, who approached the pricey sports car after finally pulling into what the victim called a “too narrow” parking spot, according to an arrest report obtained by the station.
Russian reportedly told the victim “he was taking too long,” at which time he produced a firearm, aimed it at the pick-up driver’s torso and fired, but the gun malfunctioned — twice, according to the report.
As the victim walked back toward his Airbnb unit, he “heard a gunshot and immediately felt a burning sensation on his right foot,” the document stated.
The victim took himself to an area hospital — and later picked Russian out of a police lineup, Local 10 reported.
The road rager was arrested Wednesday and charged with second-degree attempted murder and use or display of a firearm while committing a felony, according to WSVN.
A Miami-Dade judge ordered him to be held without bond on the attempted murder charge.
