Foreign tourist viciously sucker-punched at LA beachfront hot spot — as police hunt brutish attackers
A Danish tourist was sucker-punched during a brutal beatdown caught on video in a popular part of Venice Beach — with cops now hunting for the attackers.
The unidentified victim was knocked unconscious near Speedway and Washington Boulevard around 12:35 a.m. on October 30, the LAPD said.
He suffered serious injuries, including a laceration to his head. Paramedics took him to the hospital for treatment.
Police released footage of the attack, showing one of the suspects smacking the tourist in the face and slapping an item out of his hands before the two scuffle.
The clip later shows the same suspect approaching the victim and appearing to grab something out of his pocket, before the second suspect winds up and punches the tourist to the ground.
The victim is seen lying motionless on the ground as the first suspect appears to drop something on the tourist’s limp body.
The motive for the attack remains unclear.
Police are now seeking the public’s help in identifying the brutish attackers, who are described as a black male and Hispanic male.
