Olympian Kim Glass Details Brutal Attack In Downtown Los Angeles

Glass described her gruesome injuries and showed her severely swollen and bruised eye after a 51-year-old male hurled a metal pipe at her head, the New York Post reports.

Glass had just finished lunch with a friend at a restaurant when the assault took place.

“He just like looked at me with some pretty hateful eyes,” Glass said in a video, according to TMZ. “And, as I turned to go tell my friend, ‘I think something’s, like, wrong with him and I think he’s going to hit a car,’ before I knew it, a big metal bolt, like pipe, hit me right here.”

“It happened so fast,” she added. “I do have multiple fractures.”

Doctors said they do not anticipate that her vision will be permanently damaged.

The Olympian gave a shoutout to her family and friends for their support.

“Just be safe out there,” the 37-year-old said. “There’s a lot of mentally ill people on these streets right now and you shouldn’t have to be fearful when you walk but it’s true. And, so, you guys just be safe.”

The LAPD found and arrested the suspect on Monday, and police authorities took him into custody on felony assault charges with a deadly weapon without bail, TMZ reports.
