On Tuesday, June 21, 2022, around 1:30 p.m., a male victim was violently attacked by a lone male suspect. The attack was unprovoked and took place at the corner of Vermont Avenue and Wilshire Boulevard. The suspect struck the victim in the face with his elbow, knocking him to the ground unconscious.
Los Angeles Fire Department personnel responded to the scene and transported the victim to a local hospital. The victim was later released from the hospital.
