*The Florida man who was attacked at an AMC Theater earlier this month over reserved seats has spoken out about the incident.
“I couldn’t even get a defensive shot in,” the 63-year-old unidentified patron told NBC Miami. “It happened so fast, he basically sucker-punched me is what he did.”
The victim said he suffered a broken nose in the fight that occurred on July 10 at an AMC Theater at 2315 N. Federal Highway in Pompano Beach, Florida. The man purchased VIP tickets for him and his wife to see a late-night screening of “Insidious: The Red Door.” The victim claims he politely asked the person occupying his reserved seat to move. When this individual refused, the elder ticketholder started to look for seating elsewhere, but the aggressor “kept staring” at him, the victim said
“As I’m walking away, he said ‘go run to your wife little boy,” the anonymous man said. “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.’”
At that point, a physical fight broke out.
“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 told NBC Miami.
Witnesses had to grab the attacker and pull him off the victim. The suspect and the woman he was reportedly with fled the scene.
The victim sustained numerous injuries and was treated at a nearby hospital.
Florida detectives are searching for the attacker.
