Jewish teen attacked with phone and metal chair at North Miami Beach Starbucks

On a Sunday afternoon, an 18-year-old Jewish teenager was subjected to a violent antisemitic attack at a Starbucks located within a Target store in North Miami Beach. The victim, who was quietly sitting in the Starbucks seating area while his family shopped, suddenly found himself targeted by a woman named Chyvonne Juanita Palmer, 43. According to the teenager's own account provided to Local 10 News, the encounter was entirely unprovoked.

Palmer, who was reportedly 43 years old, approached the teenager without any prior contact or warning. She began screaming at him, before delivering two strikes to the teenager's head and shoulder with a black cell phone. After briefly returning to her original seat, Palmer then retrieved a metal chair and, while shouting "I hate them," launched a series of assaults on the teenager.

Two bystanders quickly recognized the severity of the situation and intervened to stop the chair attack. They successfully managed to usher the teenager away from the scene, where he sought refuge in the store's restroom. Palmetto Police Department subsequently took Palmer into custody at the scene, where she has been formally charged with a litany of offenses. These charges include aggravated battery, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, and disorderly conduct.
