Security Guard Saves Child Left Inside Hot Car While Parents Drank at Miami Hotel Bar
A security guard has been deemed a hero after he rescued a toddler who was left inside a hot car while his parents reportedly went drinking at a bar inside a Miami hotel last week, police said. “I noticed a guy kept running in and out of our exit,” security guard Howard Bryan, who works at the Clevelander hotel on Miami Beach, told NBC Miami.
“I explained to the guy, like, ‘Look, you’re going to end up getting left out,’ and then he was like, ‘No, I’m just going in and out to check on my baby,’ and I was like, ‘Your baby?'” the security guard recounted. “He said, ‘Yeah, my truck is right here with the windows down with the baby in the back seat,’ and I was like, ‘Bro, you in a club, like, go handle your child,’ and then he was like, ‘No, my wife is in here.'”
Bryan started clocking how long the parents were inside the bar.
After Bryan had a brief encounter with the man who was identified as 33-year-old Osman Karatas, he started timing how long he and his wife were inside the establishment. The security guard said the couple remained inside for more than 45 minutes while their 3-year-old son was left alone in the vehicle.
Bryan quickly alerted two off-duty officers about the situation, prompting them to take action. “If I didn’t say anything and they left, they could have wrecked out with that child in the car because they were drinking and under the influence. The kid could have sat in the car and dehydrated,” Bryan explained.
The car’s temperature registered at 85 degrees.
Bryan realized the temperature was steadily increasing and waited for officers to arrive at the scene to help the young boy. According to a Miami Beach Police report, the temperature registered 85 degrees inside the car when the boy was rescued.
Police said Osman and his wife, Sevda Karatas, 32, initially tried to bring their son into the hotel, but they were turned away because children are not allowed inside, NBC Miami reported.
