From Santa Monica Close Up:
"On Wednesday, May 1, 2024, emergency responders were called to Santa Monica Beach after receiving reports of an assault. Los Angeles County Lifeguards, Santa Monica Police Officers, Santa Monica Firefighters and Paramedics, and Santa Monica Harbor Patrol Officers attended the scene where a couple's argument had escalated into violence.
According to eyewitnesses, a dispute between the couple culminated with the male partner, described as an African American man, striking the female partner over the head with a wine bottle. The assault left the woman temporarily unconscious with a head injury. Lifeguards and firefighters provided first aid until she was transported to a hospital by ambulance for further medical care.
The suspect fled the scene immediately after the incident. Authorities have since launched a search to locate him, with potential charges of domestic violence and assault with a deadly weapon pending upon his capture. Eyewitnesses praised the prompt response of the emergency services, highlighting the quick arrival of both lifeguards and police at the beach.
This violent incident has heightened community concerns about safety and security in popular public areas like Santa Monica Beach."
