The Los Angeles Police Department told Fox News it was unaware of the incident. In another video, a man is seen being taken into custody by police officers on the beach before he is put onto a stretcher. The user who posted the footage said it occurred after a random attack near the boardwalk. The LAPD did not respond to a Fox News inquiry of the incident. In a video posted to YouTube by TonyVeraNews, a man being interviewed claimed the attacker broke his fishing rod and punched him in the stomach. "This guy was having a mental health episode and he basically assaulted me and battered me on the beach," he said. "It was more upsetting than serious until he broke my fishing rod and I was like ‘Well, now he does have a weapon.’"
