In the early hours of the 23rd November, the LSPD received reports of a brawl on Wilshire Boulevard.
An accident had occurred between two vehicles. However, this quickly turned into a brawl between the two drivers, along with several bystanders.
One of the individuals was also armed with a sledgehammer, threatening to hit the other driver along with members of the public. With the streets full of people, several bystanders called into the police for urgent assistance.
Within a few minutes after the initial call, an officer arrived from the Los Santos Police Department. However, the gathering of individuals was still increasing with people coming from a range of directions.
Following a debate back and forth between a driver, one of the individuals took his tow truck from a neighboring garage. Within a few seconds, he was preparing to hook the vehicle involved. Officer Sanders quickly intervened, attempting to stop the individual.
Throughout the incident, people were assaulted along with being pushed and shoved. This created an atmosphere on the street, with people standing by, expecting a serious assault.
Just down the street from this incident is the garage, identified to be used following the Ganton Targeted Attack. Officer Sanchez was on the scene of the garage, and provided a brief statement.
Officer Sanchez, Los Santos Police Department
“From here, we didn’t see too much. But it seems to be an accident between two vehicles that has escalated.
We stood by, incase we needed to intervene before the local officers arrived. Luckily enough, they did be fore anything happened.
Both males seemed to be quite aggressive, with one having a sledgehammer ready, as an offensive weapon.
The bystanders didn’t help either. Getting involved with the scene and adding to the pressures.
While I can’t make an official statement, this is becoming more common. People are struggling to control
their anger, and it shows.”
