A 19-year-old man was arrested Monday night after he was captured on surveillance video beating up an OB-GYN doctor at Mount Sinai Medical Center in Miami Beach, authorities said.
According to authorities, Ventura Del Castillo Perez's mother was a patient of Dr. Steven Silvers, and he was apparently upset because of the medication Silvers prescribed his mother and he wanted the doctor to feel pain as well.
Silvers and his son appeared in bond court this week via Zoom as Miami-Dade County Judge Mindy Glazer read the suspect his charges.
Silvers described his injuries to the judge, saying he suffered a concussion, a hematoma on the right side of his head, a swollen collarbone, a bruised temple, a bruised right eye, a brain contusion and two broken ribs.
"I was going to my office at 815 a.m. in the morning," he told the judge. "I had a brief interaction with this gentleman, and then I turned to walk away and he jumped me from the back and beat me. There's clear video at Mount Sinai Hospital that shows this."
