A lifelong Boston Red Sox fan who lives in Los Angeles was lucky to be alive after he was stabbed several times during a brutal attack following the team’s World Series win last week.

Josh Davis, a 36-year-old man originally from Fall River, Massachusetts, was stabbed five times and had his nose broken during the Sunday night attack in Los Angeles’ Koreatown, where he said he was confronted by two men, one of whom wore a Dodgers jersey and hat and took exception to Davis’ Red Sox gear, NECN reports.

“Get your [expletive] out of here, this is Dodger country right here,” Davis’ attacker allegedly told him.

Davis said he couldn’t tell if the men were merely busting his chops or had other things in mind, but the confrontation escalated quickly after one of them whistled and up to 10 other men joined the standoff.

“All of a sudden, the next thing I know, I’m looking behind me, and they’re all coming down the stairs, maybe nine, maybe 10 different guys,” Davis said. “They got the best of me.”

Davis also lost at least four teeth in the attack, which he believes involved a screwdriver that was used by one of his assailants. He awoke in the emergency room at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles, where he was continuing to recover on Wednesday.

“One thing I have learned from this is to not indulge in trash talk with people u don’t know!” Davis wrote on Facebook. “After getting into a brawl with two Dudes the third one whistled for more help, in the blink of an eye I was surrounded by a large group of them and started to fear for my life and just started going Tanzanian devil after they started striking me.”

Davis’ phone and wallet were stolen during the incident, which is being investigated as an assault with a deadly weapon and a robbery. No arrests had been made as of Wednesday, NECN reports.

Just hours before the attack, Davis posted a photo of himself inside what appeared to be a bar alongside other fans watching Game 5 of the World Series, which Boston won 5-1 to clinch its ninth World Series and the fourth in the last 15 years.
