We need your help! We were just attacked at an intersection.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis man just blocked the intersection of our car at Melrose and Vine and then kicked our door in attacking us. Police were called and the license plate is on the video. If you know who this is, call the police immediately and send me a DM. He is dangerous and the police are looking for him!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the video, a man wearing a <a class=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/00000196-59fa-d009-add7-7dfee35d0000-123\" data-autoplayable-video=\"true\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Cheech &amp; Chong<\/a> tee that reads \u201cDon\u2019t Panic, It\u2019s Organic\u201d blocked the Melrose Avenue and Vine Street intersection Sunday around 9:20 a.m. and hopped out of his Toyota 4Runner. <\/p>\n<p>Contrary to instructions on the man\u2019s shirt, the married co-stars of the Amazon Prime reality series did begin to panic as the man, who has been identified as Los Angeles resident Kevin Antonio Hernandez, approached their vehicle and punched the driver\u2019s side window and kicked the driver\u2019s side door. \u201cLock the door!\u201d Simpson is heard saying in the video. \u201cCall the police!\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Hernandez continued to yell at the fashionistas as he returned to his vehicle, but it\u2019s unclear what he was saying because the techno music playing on the radio in Simpson and Atteu\u2019s Benz drowned out any outside noise. Hernandez climbed into the driver\u2019s side of his Toyota and pointed at the couple, yelling one last time, before speeding off. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cGo get him!\u201d Simpson is heard yelling as they continue to film, while chasing the Toyota through the streets of Hollywood and calling 911. The reality stars\u2019 exchange with the emergency dispatcher played out in the video, with the dispatcher urging the couple to stop following the car. <\/p>\n<p>According to Simpson and Atteu, Hernandez had a baby in the car during the heated exchange and ran stop signs and ignored traffic lights as he sped away. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is it, I\u2019m going to die here,\u201d Atteu told <a class=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/ktla.com\/news\/local-news\/hollywood-road-rage-attack-arrest\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">KTLA<\/a> of his headspace during the ordeal. \u201cI\u2019ve never been faced with that kind of fear in my life on the streets of L.A.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Los Angeles Police Department told The Times that Hernandez was arrested Wednesday. He has since been released. <\/p>\n<p> <script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The L.A. man who was filmed punching and kicking the Mercedes-Benz of \u201cGown and Out in Beverly Hills\u201d&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":252073,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[111965,283,3747,111967,287,9349,2321,1743,111966,48,52,51,47,50,49,49014,236,111968,111969,13571,38223],"class_list":{"0":"post-252072","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-los-angeles","8":"tag-atteu","9":"tag-car","10":"tag-door","11":"tag-dramatic-video","12":"tag-driver","13":"tag-exchange","14":"tag-hernandez","15":"tag-hollywood","16":"tag-l-a-man","17":"tag-la","18":"tag-la-headlines","19":"tag-la-news","20":"tag-los-angeles","21":"tag-los-angeles-headlines","22":"tag-los-angeles-news","23":"tag-melrose","24":"tag-police","25":"tag-reality-tv-star","26":"tag-side-window","27":"tag-simpson","28":"tag-toyota-4runner"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/252072","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=252072"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/252072\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/252073"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=252072"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=252072"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=252072"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
