As we previously reported, a 63-year-old man was brutally attacked inside a movie theater after he arrived with his wife for a screening of the new “Insidious” movie and had purchased seats in advance, but when he arrived, another couple was sitting in his seats. Now in a new interview with NBC Miami the victim is speaking out about the incident. “This guy just kept staring at me instead of getting up,” the victim explained to NBC6. “I said to the people at this point, who didn’t apologize or say thank you, I said ‘you guys can just keep the seats.’ As I’m walking away, he said ‘go run to your wife little boy.’ So I turned around and I said ‘you know I’m not the one who’s being a little boy, you took my seats and you didn’t apologize or you didn’t say thank you and I let you keep them.'”
That’s when the victim explained how the man just attacked him. “He jumped up, he wanted to fight me, he backed me up, I fell over the stairs and as soon as I fell down the stairs, it was like a boxer being against the ropes, this guy just went to town on me,” the victim said. The victim said witnesses and his wife tried to stop the man, but everything happened so quick. “I couldn’t even get a defensive shot in,” he said. “It happened so fast, he basically sucker-punched me is what he did.”
The 63-year-old, who is a disabled veteran, suffered a broken nose and had to get stitches at a local hospital. “I didnt think anybody would be stupid enough to actually start a fight like that in the movies,” the victim said.
The man who attacked the victim still hasn’t been caught and authorities are urging the public to help them solve this case.
