A good Samaritan who drove by intervened and got medical help.

Investigators say Rodriguez and Sanchez are neighbors who got into a disagreement at their apartment complex.

“Could have all started when the victim was leaving the building, he didn’t leave the door open for the suspect,” said Michael Vega with the Miami Police Department.

Investigators believe Sanchez followed the victim and then beat him as Rodriguez sat waiting for a friend.

Sanchez was denied bond and ordered to stay away from Rodriguez.
