The victim, described by police as a tourist in his 20s visiting Los Angeles with family, was taken to a hospital and underwent surgery. LAPD said the two NY City officers were in town for work-related reasons, but were off-duty at the time.
Liza Brown, a 35-year-old social media marketing manager visiting Los Angeles from Chesterfield, South Carolina, said she was shopping at the popular beauty store Sephora when the stabbing happened. “I turned around and the first thing I saw was a guy bent over”, Brown said. While off-duty and in Los Angeles on police business, Mulligan and his partner, Detective Albert Ramos, subdued a man accused of slashing a Russian tourist on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Wednesday, November 18, 2015. A witness says he was stabbed in the neck and that blood was squirting out between his fingers.
A man who flew a drone into the path of a police helicopter during a Hollywood manhunt is giving up the device and can’t own another one for three years.
Meanwhile, she stated retailer staff at Sephora locked the enterprise in the course of the assault and that nobody might enter or exit till the police roped off the crime scene.
