A man was attacked and knocked to the ground, had his cowboy boots forcibly removed, and was then severely beaten in the face with his own boots says Sheriff Cmdr. Dave Egeler. The attack happened on Monday in the 9000 block of MacArthur Boulevard. The unnamed victim, 27, was leaving his apartment when he was attacked by several people in what police are calling a robbery attempt. The man escaped but collapsed near a neighboring block of apartments having suffered severe facial injuries. The group of attackers then fled the scene apparently empty-handed. Source:
