WWE Superstar, Tom Magee, survived a brutal attack by six men after a dispute over a parking spot. The WWE star from the 80s was left with a broken jaw, broken eye socket, and concussion after he was attacked outside his home in Mar Vista, California. Meanwhile, Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) has already taken two of the assailants identified as Justin Lee, and Degrate Bryant, both in their twenties into custody.
“Tom came and encountered the young men, and it proceeded to a fight. It was sort of a conflict over who was allowed to park in this spot,” Magee’s friend Kendall Noxxel was quoted as saying by CBS Los Angeles.
“They were literally kicking him, punching him in the face and in the head,” said Magee’s neighbour, who witnessed the attack.
“To me, it was attempted murder. If we wouldn’t have come out here I don’t know if he would be alive. To look at his face if you saw his face right now and saw what they were doing to him, he’s really lucky to be alive,” the neighbour added.
Meanwhile, Magee has been discharged from the hospital. The former wrestler was signed by the then World Wrestling Federation (WWF) in 1986 in a career that lasted for just four years.
