Man, 63, attacked in Florida movie theater after asking couple to move from his VIP seat says 'they just went to town on me' - as he reveals his injuries and cops appeal for help to find suspects

A man who was beat down by a still-at-large suspect at a Florida movie theater last week has spoken out - revealing he sustained a broken nose during the filmed assault.

The incident happened July 10 at the AMC Pompano Theater in Pompano Beach, and left the 63-year-old victim bloodied, hospitalized, and in stitches - after he asked the much younger-suspect to move from a seat for which he paid in advance.

Footage filmed from another moviegoer also showed the altercation in full - and how the victim was then pounced on by the suspect and punched repeatedly, while others, including his wife, helplessly looked on.

Now being used as part of a police investigation, it also shows how the victim at first approached his attacker in a civil manner to ask why he and his female companion were in the prebooked VIP seats, but was instead met with a violent assault.

Appearing in a video interview over the weekend, the victim - who asked not to be named - showed off some of the damage he sustained during the scare, and revealed himself to be a disabled veteran. His assailant, meanwhile, remains at large.

Scroll down for video:

'It happened so fast, he basically sucker-punched me,' the victim told NBC Miami Friday, some two weeks after he and his wife purchased the tickets for the July 10 airing of 'Insidious: The Red Door' - which included advanced seat selection.

'I couldn't even get a defensive shot in,' he remembered.

The man proceeded to recount the attack as he remembered it, which he said started when he and his spouse arrived at the Pompano Beach theater only to find the other couple sitting in their seats.

BTW the second part of this phrase is brilliance: “I feel I am in shock and need to go to a hospital.” It is less likely a cop will place you in cuffs or under arrest, also gives you time for the adrenaline to wear off before questioning. Furthermore, it might be accurate: You might be in shock.

Second, I’d avoid using the cliche “I was in fear for my life.” Everyone says this now. Say something spontaneous and original, like, “I thought the guy was trying to kill me!”

Go find their home. They may need measuring for new windows all over. Rinse and repeat.

Yeah. No surprise. Avoid them at all costs, anywhere, everywhere. Life is less stressful as a result. Believe me. Sad really.

I would say that he was screaming “I AM HUNGRY AND I AM GOING TO EAT YOUR GIZZARD”.

I would leave out the “ I thought” and just make the statement, “The guy was trying to kill me!”

“either way don’t confront thugs”

And don’t use the word “boy”. That’s what the animal was waiting for after calling the victim a “little boy”. The victim repeated it back and it was on after that. Probably would have happened anyway but that appears to have been the trigger.

I did. I was killed by an Amsterdamster hamster. He feared for his life, then he needed to speak with his attorney.

The now-morbidly-obese "Jazz" Jennings, he said:
"I heard something go ‘pop’ and when I looked, the whole thing had just split open," the doctor explains. "They took off the bandages and the packaging," Jazz shares. "And we found out that only 50 percent of the skin graft took."

Once again the “I do anything I want” culture flies out with their punches.

Somehow local Miami media isn’t asking if this is a hate crime.

suspicions confirmed...

No need to guess!

Victim should pulled a pocket piece, shoved into the perps belly and put a hole or two/three in him.
The POS couldn’t just get up and say my bad, thought these were our seats.
I’m sure racism is not a reason he attacked the 63 yo!! /s
