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.

Let me guess...
Always CCW...always.
I doubt that you have to (sigh).
Usual suspects Someone please post his pic here as the DM loves pics.
Back in 2006, my oldest son and I flew into Brussels, Belgium to begin a trip where we would visit some places together, then split up in Paris, to continue our own journeys to other counties. We had first class tickets on the train from Brussels to Bruges. When we got to our seats, other people were seated in them. We notified the female conductor who said there was nothing she could do about it. We ended up having to take seats apart from each other, while someone else got the benefit of our reserved seats.
Not blaming the victim here, but in the future just go get a theater usher or manager and let them remove the person that is in your prepaid seat. That is what this man should have done people are entitled anymore and growing up were not told the word “no”.
BTW remember the days when theater ushers looked like admirals on a large ship?
I wonder why she couldn’t do anything about it? I would have demanded a refund.
Florida does not even require a license to CCW anymore. There are no excuses.
There are no theater ushers anymore.
There are only pimpled faced teenagers that come in after the movie is over to give a quick cleanup of cups and popcorn containers prior to the next movie.
why couldn’t she make them move? That sounds like bs.
Keep a facemask with you at all times. If confrontation with negroes is unavoidable, strike first, brutally. Then put on the facemask and leave the area immediately.
“There are only pimpled faced teenagers that come in after the movie is over to give a quick cleanup of cups and popcorn containers prior to the next movie.”
Then have them get the theater manager, either way don’t confront thugs that is the manager’s job.
The evil white supremacist demanding that poor black child sit in the back of the theater!!!
I assume this is how the Marxist media is describing it by now?
CCW, then “I was in fear for my life. I feel I am in shock, I need to go to a hospital immediately. Then I need to talk to my lawyer.”
You need to add “I am bankrupt and don’t have any money left after paying to see this movie”. That will keep all of the shark lawyers from accepting the case for the attacker family.
“Always CCW...always”
When the pin is pulled...
What a shock, the attacker was a negro....
Reparations, yo!
