Cuban migrants intercepted off Fort Lauderdale


A group of Cuban migrants came ashore in Dania Beach around 6:30 p.m. Saturday, officials said.

Six were taken to Broward Health Medical Center and five were in custody at the Dania Beach Border Patrol Station, said Frank Miller, assistant chief patrol agent for U.S. Border Patrol.

Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue Deputy Chief Timothy Heiser said his agency dispatched two fireboats to assist the Coast Guard in bringing in the migrants. One man with a stab wound was brought to the docks near the 15th Street Fisheries restaurant, 1900 SE 15th St., then taken to the hospital.


Miller said he was not at liberty to discuss the medical condition of the migrants.
