A traumatized grandfather who was brutally assaulted by a 14-year-old boy at a rap concert in Kansas City has spoken out for the first time.
Thomas Schlange, 66, was beaten while working inside the T-Mobile Center on Sunday night at a NBA YoungBoy concert after asking the violent teen to move to the correct seat.
The bloodthirsty boy - who has not been named or charged over the attack - hurled Schlange to the floor and bludgeoned him with his fists - breaking his nose.
Speaking with Fox4, Schlange said: 'I mean it is serious; I went down and had blows to my head.'
Recalling the attack, he added: 'Just getting him off, getting him off of me…because he was so enraged, so we were just, in essence, trying to protect the fans.
'I think people should be able to go to T-Mobile or any other venue in the city, purchase a ticket and enjoy their show. And they should not be interrupted by people who misbehave.'
Schlange told the outlet that he is to meet with police on Friday who are continuing to investigate the incident.
He has worked at the arena for nearly two decades, adding that he never thought he would be a victim of such a violent assault.
Schlange added: 'The message is: we, as young adults or people growing into adulthood, we need to learn how to control our anger.'
In a GoFundMe page, Schlange is said to have already been suffering from glaucoma before the attack - with concerns his vision could also be affected at a later date.
Images shared on the page show Schlange with his nose swollen alongside a burst upper lip that is also bruised and inflamed.

Child?.................
> Little thug never been told “no” in his life until now and this happens. <
I’m betting he still won’t be told “no”, because his punishment will be so light as to be meaningless.
Imagine a rap concert without violence if you can.
Physically 14. Mentally? Probably about 5 or less.
Did its parents take it out to McDonald’s to reward it after?
Dem blacks seem to be really brave when their victim is a senior or ora woman it’s 10 against one white person.
Now here is a kid who needs gender realignment surgery.
Yes, it may be time to find a more objective way to define “child”.
One based more on behavior than chronological age.
I doubt if the boy came to that concert alone. Therefore, a bunch of people do know his name and location. I suspect his name will soon leak out, because someone will want their own personal Instagram, X or Facebook account to Go Viral.
They can always delete it, once the views crescendo.
My fit 63 year old wife can be beaten senseless by the huge welfare fed First Grade monsters in her care.
Lots of hands holding phones. No hands stopping the black-on-white violence. Sadly, not even the white hands there.
Child...he’s a mindless brute with no impulse control indicating some sort of mental retardation or illness. Treat him accordingly.
A 14-year-old thug is NOT a “child.”
In the 90s, we would go to Kansas City, Missouri but now, if we go, its to the Kansas side of Kansas City.
Does ANYONE think that if a 14 year old white boy beat an elderly black man, he would have been released with no charges?
KC is such a cesspool now.
No. No child can do that but plenty of out of control 14 year olds who are big enough can.
I totally agree, violent thugs need to be castrated. It will chill them out.
