UPDATE
4:23 p.m. PT – The LAPD told TMZ it was a skirmish between two different parties, which escalated into violence. We are told that two unknown suspects attacked the two victims, which included punching, choking and hair pulling. We are told that the two victims went to the hospital, but the extent of their injuries are not known. The LAPD is looking for the perpetrators.
A brutal attack on an elderly couple leaving the Elton John concert at Dodger Stadium this week was caught on video – as were the alleged attackers … and TMZ has the video.
This incident has gone viral on social media in recent days, and for good reason…a man and woman, both in their 60s, were senselessly attacked on Thursday night by what we’re told was a group of at least 4 -6 people trying to get out of the parking lot.
Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ … the older couple, who had gone to the concert on their own, were about to leave when a woman allegedly hit her rear view mirror, forcing the husband to come out, confront her and look for an explanation.
We are told the woman then tried to swing on the older man, who blocked her. At this point, our sources say the gentleman was mobbed by at least two men who began lamenting over him…some of which is on video. This footage is graphic, but you can see him getting bludgeoned.
Sadly, it wasn’t over yet… we’re told the woman jumped up to help her husband, only to be allegedly knocked to the ground by some of the men in the group. She was knocked unconscious and the two were left there helpless as people stood around.
Our sources say bystanders filmed it, but not much else to help these poor people. As the group tried to walk away from the scene, a man followed them and recorded…only to be apparently attacked himself when the guy in black noticed him and pounced.
Eventually we are told the couple were helped back into their car and the woman came to. Our sources say they were waiting for EMS to arrive… but it took far too long for first responders and/or stadium security to arrive. After a while, the wife felt well enough to drive them both to the hospital…where we were told the husband had been admitted.
At some point someone recorded what we were told was one of the women who was allegedly questioned by what looks like a cop. Our sources say the officer didn’t realize she was one of the people allegedly in the mix…and was released.
Waiting for your permission to load Instagram media.
The couple’s children – who weren’t present on the night in question – are now desperately pleading with the public for information to identify the 6 people they believe beat their parents, and have filed a report of font to start.
As you can imagine, they want justice for their family…because their parents could have easily been killed, and so far – the alleged attackers have apparently got away with it.
