A man who was attacked and severely beaten at a Metro station in Koreatown says the attackers yelled racial slurs at him.
"They didn't give me enough time to run. As soon as I came down the steps at the platform, they came up to me," said the man who did not wish to publicly disclose his name.
The man says the incident happened Sunday night as he was going to catch a Purple Line train at the Wilshire/Western station. He told Eyewitness News he distinctly remembers what the alleged attackers yelled at him.After the beating, he somehow managed to board another train heading to Union Station. When he got off at the 7th and Figueroa station, he told a few LAPD officers what happened to him.
He added he hopes he'll soon receive a call from police that the two, possibly 3, men who beat him have been arrested so he can feel safe taking the train again.
