An arrest has been made in a brutal beating in Hollywood that left a man apparently unconscious on the Walk of Fame.
Video of the early Monday morning attack drew attention on social media and TMZ, and the Los Angeles Police Department said in a news release that officers responded to that reported altercation in the 6700 block of Hollywood Boulevard and found “a severely injured male victim.”
