A dashcam video that bubbled back up online this week shows a chaotic confrontation on the Palmetto Expressway that ended with 39-year-old Gisell Mansur in handcuffs but, ultimately, facing no criminal case. Troopers said the physician kicked her husband in the backseat, climbed onto the hood of their SUV and later sat down in a traffic lane before officers stepped in. During processing, police say she spit blood and saliva at a Florida Highway Patrol trooper. Mansur was booked on multiple counts in December, but prosecutors have now told authorities they will take no action on the case.

Dashcam captures the December outburst

The Florida Highway Patrol arrest report and dashcam footage, summarized in local coverage, lay out the roadside drama, according to WSVN. Investigators say Mansur got out of the SUV, jumped onto its hood and at one point sat in the middle of a main roadway, blocking rush-hour traffic. While troopers restrained her at Troop E headquarters, the report states she "spit directly into my face with saliva and blood," after which officers placed a bag over her head and used a taser to subdue her.

Hospital ties and state licensure

Mount Sinai Medical Center told local reporters that Mansur is no longer affiliated with the hospital, as noted by Local 10. At the same time, the Florida Department of Health practitioner profile for Gisell Maria Mansur (license ME142680) still lists a "Clear/Active" status, indicating her state medical license is current (Florida DOH).

State Attorney declines to pursue charges

According to WSVN, the Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office reviewed the arrest report and "decided to take no action on all five charges," effectively closing the case. That decision leaves the December booking without any active prosecution, despite what is described in the arrest paperwork.

What was filed

Police records and local coverage show Mansur was booked on counts that included resisting arrest, assaulting an officer, disorderly intoxication, battery and public intoxication, Local 10 reported. The station also noted her bond was set at $3,800 for several of the charges in December.

Earlier coverage and context

Hoodline published an initial rundown of the December arrest in December 2025, pulling together the traffic-camera footage and arrest-report details; see Miami-Dade doctor arrested. The dashcam clip and local reports drew attention at the time and resurfaced this week as word spread that prosecutors had closed the case.
