By Fuzzy Mushroom · Published
A 23-year-old man was arrested late on Friday after police say he pulled a knife during a row with a crew member on the Brooklyn set of Miami Vice '85. The NYPD charged him with menacing and criminal possession of a weapon; the knife was recovered and nobody was hurt. Joseph Kosinski's big-screen reboot stars Austin Butler as Crockett and Michael B. Jordan as Tubbs, and Universal has it down for 19 May 2028.
