A 27-year-old man at a Florida casino last week pulled out his penis and then “waved and shook it at security and passersby,” according to a police report.

Abdul Rahman Zaina, who resides in the Jamaica, Queens neighborhood of New York City, showed off his private parts while he was in the poker room of the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Fla. last Tuesday.

For an unknown reason, he unbuttoned his pants and unfastened his belt before pulling out his penis, according to Patch.

Casino employees quickly asked him to leave Pit 7 in the poker room. But he started to walk toward a cashier’s cage and got into a dispute with a security guard, according to Florida TV station WPLG.

Zaina appeared to get angry, Patch reported. Zaina soon got into a struggle with casino security guards.

He placed his hands on a guard’s face and he then was pushed to the floor by the guards, according to WLPG.

Threw Bottle at Dealer, Threatened Guards

A struggle ensured, and Zaina broke free from the guards. He then got hold of a bottle and allegedly tossed it at a gaming floor dealer and at a guard.

The dealer suffered minor injuries on his arm when he was struck by the bottle, the report revealed. As the confrontation unfolded, Zaina also threatened the guards, police said.

Seminole Police Department officers were notified about the incident at about 1:45 a.m. Tuesday.

Two Charges

Officers responded and Zaina was arrested for incident exposure and aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. If convicted on the charges, Zaina could face many years in prison.

It wasn’t clear why he exposed himself and assaulted the guards, police said. It also was unclear if Zaina was intoxicated at the time of the incident.

He has yet to enter a plea in the case.

Police were able to view the incident on casino surveillance camera video.

Zaina didn’t appear to suffer any injuries. Details on the injuries to the casino dealer weren’t immediately available.

Zaina’s case was turned over to local prosecutors. As of last week, bail was set at $8K. He was booked at Broward County Main Jail in Fort Lauderdale.
