Violent road-rage fight at L.A. airport leaves elderly woman unconscious

WARNING: graphic and violent video content.

Police are looking for a 38-year-old man involved in a violent road-rage incident at Los Angeles International Airport that left an elderly woman unconscious in the street, authorities announced Thursday.

The brutal incident, which was captured on LAX surveillance cameras, unfolded on May 31 just before 9:30 a.m., according to a news release from the Los Angeles Police Department’s Pacific-LAX Division.

Footage of the incident shows the elderly victim checking her luggage curbside near three other individuals.

As she was standing between her vehicle and the curb, two men who were engaged in a fistfight stemming from an incident of road rage ran off the sidewalk toward the vehicle and brutally struck the woman in the head, knocking her unconscious and leaving her with major injuries, authorities told KTLA.

The woman was rushed to the hospital in critical condition by paramedics with the Los Angeles Fire Department.

She has since been released from the hospital, though no information on the extent of her injuries was provided.

“The most shocking thing, and the reason we’re asking for the public’s help, is after this happened, both the individuals failed to render aid,” LAPD Det. Scott Danielson told KTLA. “Our victim here could be your mother or your grandmother.”

One of the suspects involved in the fight, who is seen shirtless in the surveillance footage, turned himself in to police and was arrested.

The second suspect, Jasan Givens Sr., initially fled the scene but was later arrested on Friday morning. He faces charges of felony battery and was held on $50,000 bail.

Anyone with information about this incident is urged to contact LAPD’s Pacific/LAX Detective Danielson at 424-646-8303 or 310-646-2255. Anyone wishing to remain anonymous can contact the L.A. Regional Crime Stoppers Hotline at 800-222-8477 or submit tips online at www.lacrimestoppers.org.
