Los Angeles, California – Authorities are on the lookout for a 38-year-old man involved in a violent road-rage incident at Los Angeles International Airport that left an elderly woman unconscious on the street, as announced by the police on Thursday.
The disturbing altercation, which occurred on May 31 just before 9:30 a.m., was captured by surveillance cameras at LAX. According to the Los Angeles Police Department’s Pacific-LAX Division, the footage shows the elderly victim near her luggage at the curb with three individuals when two men, engaged in a fistfight resulting from a road rage incident, abruptly ran towards her vehicle. They aggressively struck the woman in the head, causing her to lose consciousness and sustain major injuries, as reported by KTLA.
The injured woman was quickly taken to the hospital in critical condition by Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics. Although she has been discharged from the hospital, no details regarding the severity of her injuries have been disclosed.
