Driver knocked out by sucker punch in road rage attack caught on video, LA cops say

A New Year’s Day road rage confrontation caught on video left one man hospitalized and Los Angeles Police Department detectives looking for the three male suspects responsible, police said in a press release.

On Jan. 1, a man was in his car and stopped at a red light in Van Nuys, California, according to the release. A Jeep had been driving erratically and stopped behind him. Both cars pulled to the curb and the drivers and passengers got out of their cars.

During the assault, one of the suspects punched the man, knocking him unconscious, video shows. The suspects then got back into their Jeep and fled the scene.

The injured man was taken to a local hospital and “he has not regained consciousness,” according to the release.
