The incident took place near Duval Street in Key West. The man was identified as Adam Price, who suffered a cut to the left side of his neck and was airlifted to the Miami Hospital in stable condition.

The incident took place between her and her girlfriend, Skakiya Cruz. At the time of the incident, police arrived to find Grinion yelling and pushing the woman and man.
