Gabela said he did not intend to hit Carollo and that “sometimes you need to stand up to bullies”, according to the station.

He said, “It was not my intention to do any thing.” I apologize if it appeared that way. But the man started calling me a “gangster”. I am not a criminal. “I am a law abiding citizen, a duly-elected commissioner, like him, and he must respect that so the people will respect him.”

According to the Miami Herald he added, “I am just saying that if you are going to fight outside I will go with you.” Carollo is “not a fan of losing and has lost control over this commission.”
