Sheriff’s deputies are searching for six suspects involved in a violent weekend fight.
Cellphone footage captured a violent weekend brawl on Santa Monica Boulevard that left two victims with visible head and facial injuries, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
Deputies responded to the 8500 block of Santa Monica Boulevard around 6:15 p.m. on March 21 following reports of a fight that reportedly began inside a local establishment. Investigators stated the conflict was ignited when a suspect threw alcohol at two individuals. After the parties were removed from the venue, as many as six suspects allegedly targeted the two victims on the sidewalk.

Witnesses observed the physical altercation moving past Fiesta Cantina toward Micky’s West Hollywood. Video of the incident shows at least four men involved in the melee, including individuals wearing blue jerseys marked with the number 93. One man in a jersey was seen being put in a headlock by one person while another struck him repeatedly in the face.
Onlookers and nearby patrons watched as the violence unfolded and threw ice in an attempt to break the fight up while yelling at the combatants to stop. A woman with a scooter on the sidewalk backed away to avoid the men. All suspects fled the scene before law enforcement arrived.
Both victims declined medical treatment at the scene, and no arrests have been made. Officials at the West Hollywood Sheriff’s Station are seeking the public’s help in identifying the suspects. Anonymous tips can be submitted through the L.A. Regional Crime Stoppers Hotline at 800-222-8477.
