Los Angeles, CA – A couple in their 60s were brutally beaten at an Elton John concert at Dodgers Stadium last Thursday.
The daughter of the victims told Fox 11 that her parents were excited to have a “date night” out at the Elton John concert – but the night ended in violence.
“They were so excited to go have a random little date night, so they went to the Elton John concert,” the daughter, Nicole told Fox 11. “They had a really nice night and they wanted to beat the crowd so they left 10-15 minutes before the concert ended.”
Nicole said her father got out of his car to investigate when he heard a loud thud.
“He looked and he was thinking his mirror was hanging off, and he looked at the people and said, ‘Who hit my mirror,’ and this group of about six people turned around,” Nicole said., “A female was like ‘I did,’ and she was intoxicated and witnesses claim that she swung [at] my dad first and he went to block. The last thing he remembers is these three or four guys just started hitting him all at the same time.”
Nicole said her mother got out of the car to help her dad, but she was also beaten and knocked out cold.
Even worse, virtually NO ONE helped the elder couple!
One bystander, who happened to record the beating, helped the male victim but he was eventually chased down by the attackers and punched.
The attackers also broke his phone.
One person has been arrested but they were not one of the suspects who attacked the couple.
Fox 11 Los Angeles reported:
Police have arrested one person in connection with the brutal beating of a Los Angeles couple in their 60s by a group of people following an Elton John concert at Dodger Stadium.
The couple’s daughter, Nicole, spoke with FOX 11 about the incident.
Nicole said her mom was in the car, but got out to help once she realized what was happening.
“Her instinct was to get out and help him, and as my mom’s trying to pull men off of him, she was grabbed by the back of the head by a female in that group. Before she knew it, the gentleman in the black shirt, black backwards hat (as seen in the video), basically football tackles my mom and my mom just remembers flying and that’s it,” Nicole said. “Witnesses said that my mom hit her head so hard on the concrete that they heard her skull hit and everyone was certain she had cracked her head. My mom blacked out and when she came to, she was looking around and no one was helping them and she looked and my dad was lifeless on the floor, blacked out as well.”
Nicole said one man helped her parents and that man also recorded the video, but had a run in with the attackers.
“The attackers witnessed him recording and went after him as well, so they broke his phone, and punched him is what I’m told,” said Nicole.

Nicole said her parents were not receiving help quickly enough, so her mom ended up driving them both to the hospital, and that’s where they made a police report with the LAPD. She said her parents suffered brain injuries and broken bones. Her mother was released from the hospital that night, but her father remained hospitalized until Saturday.

That’s why I don’t go to concerts. Too many drunken idiots that use their inebriation as reasons to start fights.

Y’all are so racist!
I’m just sick of it
I’m fainting drunk with virtue signaling
Rotflmao
It’s wierd though
It’s NOT THEM THIS TIME
Very sad. New rule: be cautious at the Dodger parking lot. My neighbor went to the Elton John concert at Dodger Stadium a few days ago and said it was wonderful: full house, people dressed up, and lots of young people. In 2011 when Brian Stow was beat up and injured in the Dodger Stadium parking lot, the LAPD called every person who was sitting in the outfield bleachers. After a few months of interviews, the girlfriend of one of the guilty aggressors confessed. Sadly, Stow suffered severe brain trauma and will require long-term care and 24-hour assistance for the rest of his life.

“This is not in any way a joking situation.”
Yup, Sorry Seems to be the Only Word.
You do that a lot, do you? You go for the neck? Mr. Tuff Guy.

“...back in ‘77 they would have had to worry about Son of Sam.”
Well, not in LA.
Why the hostility? I said I carry a ink pen with me everywhere and go for the neck.
Had to defend myself a couple of times and it worked. “Tough guy”, I am not. Just someone who tries to protect himself when attacked.
You wouldn’t know cause you’re a foreigner. Mexicans...
Nope, dual citizen. Been living in Poland since 2010. Not Polish by ethnicity, while you may be Russian
The thugs were probably in training for the next game against the Giants.
What? Not unless Russia is in Texas you Polack moron. (I know... redundant)
Basic commute about 45 minutes each way. I listened the radio a lot, and when I would here an Elton John song I would hit the button for the next station, there would be an Elton song I hit the button for a next station there would be another Elton song I would hit the button for another station there would be another song. I would turn the radio off at that point.
Same thing happened with the Eagles a couple of times.
And then there was that candle in the wind.
I used to frequent to easy listening stations but they ceased to exist which is unfortunate. Luckily there is Putamayo to listen to, more flavors to choose from. Or Mexican “polka” music. Anything but billboard drival.
That’s what you claim
I attended a bunch of great concerts in the late 70's and 80's. That said I have no desire to blow out what is left of my hearing. So I don't have to worry about defending myself from drunks at night time concerts.
I drive a 2008 car. A couple of years ago a likely drunk walked between my car and the car next to me. Both outside mirrors on each car were pushed backwards towards the front of the car. The mirrors snapped back to the proper position without a problem. I had no clue of this functionality until it happened..
Mercedes mirrors automatically fold in when you park..................
At least with my car, I can fold the mirrors in manually in about 10 seconds...
