In Pompano Beach, Florida, a disturbing incident unfolded at an AMC movie theater on July 10. Authorities have now released video footage of a brutal attack that occurred inside the theater, reportedly sparked by a dispute over seats.
The victim, a 63-year-old disabled veteran, shared his harrowing experience anonymously with WSVN-TV, recounting the horrifying encounter. He described how he approached a couple in the theater who were occupying seats he believed to be his own. Politely, he informed them that they were in his seats, but instead of responding reasonably, the man in the couple reacted aggressively.
Without warning, the assailant launched a vicious attack on the veteran, brutally assaulting him. The victim suffered severe injuries as a result, including two stitches in his head, a broken nose, and multiple bruises on his body.
“He just went to town on my face,” the victim stated, still shaken by the traumatic incident. “I had to get two stitches in my head. I got a broken nose, which seems to be healing. I’m bruised up.”
The video evidence captured the disturbing confrontation, highlighting the importance of addressing such incidents to ensure the safety and security of moviegoers. The authorities are actively investigating the case to apprehend the perpetrator responsible for this senseless act of violence.
