Video: Police Seek Suspect in Violent Road Rage Attack

Police today sought public help to find a suspect in a road rage fight that left a man hospitalized with serious head injuries.

Police released video of the fight, which occurred at Fourth Street and Ardmore Avenue north of Koreatown about 7:30 p.m. on May 26 .

“The suspect and the victim were involved in a physical altercation as the result of a traffic dispute,” a police statement said.

“During the confrontation, the suspect physically picked up the victim and slammed him onto the concrete sidewalk, causing his head to hit the ground,” police said.

The victim, who was knocked unconscious, suffered a skull fracture that required surgery, police said.

The suspect was described as an Asian man, possibly Korean, in his mid- to-late 30s, about 5 feet 8 inches tall, weighing about 180 pounds, with black hair. He drove an “early model,” off-white four-door sedan, possibly a Volvo, with a non-functioning left brake light.

Anyone with information on the crime was urged to call Officer S. Lee, of the Asian Crime Unit, at (213) 486-4762, or (877) LAPD-247.
