Dominic Lord was attacked near West 89th Street and Western Avenue on April 1 after he stepped off a bus with four teenagers, according to the LAPD. The four suspects briefly argued with Lord as he backed away into the street, chased and then attacked him as he fell to the ground, according to video footage shared by the LAPD.
