Man attempts to run down LGBT Running Club Members

Man arrested after allegedly driving SUV at LGBTQIA+ running club members in West Palm Beach

A 43-year-old man was arrested Monday night after police say he drove a sport-utility vehicle at members of a local LGBTQIA+ running club in West Palm Beach, made multiple attempts to strike them and then fled the scene.

The West Palm Beach Police Department responded about 8:20 p.m. to a park along the 1300 block of Parker Avenue after members of the running club reported that a driver in a Ford Bronco accelerated toward the group.

Witnesses told officers the driver made a second attempt to hit runners, then drove recklessly across sidewalks, through grass and up an embankment before leaving eastbound on Okeechobee Boulevard, according to the department.

Officers issued a lookout for the described vehicle and shortly afterward observed a person matching the suspect's description pull into a parking garage in the 700 block of North Dixie Highway and remove the vehicle's license plate.

Police say they took the driver, identified as Ihab Mustafa El Mahmoud, into custody in the garage without incident.
