Rishard Trivell Parsons, 31, was arrested Tuesday on two counts of voyeurism and one count of battery, Miami-Dade jail records showed.
The alleged incident happened at a women’s bathroom in 1000 building at the campus on Northwest 27th Avenue.
According to an arrest report, an employee reported she was using the women’s restroom when she saw a man recording her from an adjacent stall.
She exited and reported it to the college’s public safety department.
Public safety officers started searching for the suspect and came across a hysterical female student who was shouting and pointing at a man, later identified as Parsons, the report said.
She said while she was using the restroom she saw a phone recording her from underneath the stall, so she exited and confronted the man, demanding that he delete the video, the report said.
The student said he pushed her backward, causing her to fall on the toilet seat and suffer a knee injury, the report said.
She said she chased him out of the bathroom before a good Samaritan detained him with the help of public safety officers.

Investigators retrieved surveillance video that showed Parsons entering the women’s restroom, the report said.
Miami-Dade Sheriff’s deputies responded and Parsons was arrested and booked into jail.
The report noted Parsons is on probation until 2028, and records showed he was charged for a similar crime in 2024.
Parsons had been arrested on charges of voyeurism, fleeing and eluding a police officer, and disrupting an educational institution after he allegedly looked under the stall in a women’s restroom at Miami Dade College.
Florida Department of Corrections records showed Parsons was released from custody on April 12 after he was sentenced to over five years in a Miami-Dade aggravated battery case.
In 2015, he was sentenced to two years in prison in a burglary and grand theft case, records showed.
