HOLLYWOOD [California] — About 100 Halloween revelers, many in costume, got into a heated brawl early Sunday, with a 27-year-old man taken to the hospital in critical condition, police said.

The fight occurred near Wilcox Avenue on Hollywood Boulevard about 1:30 a.m., Los Angeles police Sgt. Mark Ro of the Hollywood Station said.

The man, whose name was unavailable, was reportedly kicked in the head until unconscious, Ro said.

Paramedics treating the man at the scene called for police backup, he said.

Getting a description of the attacker wasn’t easy, Ro said.

“Everybody was in costume,” he said. “Friends of the victim were not cooperative.”

Officers tried to also question witnesses uninvolved in the fight, he said.

Close to our vicinity..the irony is that the Hollywood police station is ALSO on Wilcox.

I remember the night they arrested Batman and the dueling Freddy Kruger's it made for an interesting night on the Boulevard.

kicking at someones head is usually associated with certain people...just saying....I mean it really takes a big man to kick someone in the head when they’re already done...

I’m “in” this neighborhood even during the day. Believe me, Hollywood-area scumbags think they are elitist pr*cks. It did not surprise me that the Hollywood donut-eating cops were nowhere to be seen when the station is a MERE 5 BLOCKS away from that intersection.
