Police on Thursday asked for the public’s help to find two men who allegedly attacked an elderly woman, knocking her to the ground and leaving her unconscious as she tried to check her bags on the edge of the International Airport Los Angeles.
Police released surveillance video of the incident, which occurred around 9:25 a.m. on May 31. According to officers, what started as a road rage incident turned into a fistfight, with the two reported assailants assaulting the elderly passenger until she lost consciousness.
“This poor lady could be your mother or your grandmother,” said Detective Scott Danielson of the Los Angeles Police Department’s Pacific LAX Division.
The woman was taken to a hospital in critical condition. She has since recovered and has been released from the hospital, police said.
Detectives identified one of the suspects as Jasan Givens Sr., 38, who is known to be driving a silver Chevrolet sedan with visible damage to the passenger door and the California license plate 5UAL384.
“We’re just trying to understand this gentleman’s side of the story,” Danielson said. “We have the other side of the story. We want to make sure we have both sides.”
Anyone with information about the attack was urged to contact Detective Danielson at 424-646-8303 or 310-646-2255. Tipsters who prefer to remain anonymous can call Crime Stoppers at 800-222-8477 or online.
