Venice Boardwalk Homeless Man Assaulted



From Santa Monica Close Up:

" In a concerning incident that unfolded on the iconic Venice Beach Boardwalk today, Los Angeles Fire Fighters and Los Angeles Police Officers swiftly responded to an altercation that left a homeless man injured.

The incident occurred on Thursday, September 21, 2023, when a homeless individual was viciously assaulted, sustaining a head injury. The victim, who was identified as a homeless man, was reportedly struck during the altercation, prompting a prompt response from emergency services.

Upon arrival at the scene, LAFD Paramedics immediately sprang into action, providing crucial on-site medical treatment to the injured individual. Following initial stabilization efforts, the victim was carefully transported via ambulance to a local hospital for further evaluation and medical care.

Notably, the homeless man was in possession of two shopping carts filled with personal belongings at the time of the incident. In a display of community support, the victim managed to contact a friend who agreed to take custody of his possessions while he received the necessary medical attention.

However, the perpetrator responsible for the assault had already fled the scene before law enforcement arrived. As a result, no immediate arrests have been made in connection with the incident."
