Dominic Martinez Gianfermo, 30, wanted in California on a $5 million bond for assault causing great bodily injury, was initially spotted at 800 Douglas Road, where he fled with a knife after being approached by security, according to CGPD.
Police were alerted to his possible location on a northbound Miami-Dade County bus, where officers stopped the vehicle and identified Gianfermo, who was reportedly sitting in the back with a knife visible in his waistband.
After initially providing a false name and birthdate, Gianfermo was identified and taken into custody at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center, where he awaits extradition to California on the outstanding assault charge.
