The victim of an alleged road rage attack on New Year’s Day in Van Nuys remained unconscious Monday, Jan. 6, and police have released footage of the incident in hopes of identifying three men suspected in the assault.

The victim had allegedly been followed by his attackers, according to the Los Angeles Police Department. He was stopped at a red light at the intersection of Victory Boulevard and Woodman Avenue last Wednesday around 9:30 p.m. when the suspects pulled up behind him in a black Jeep. The man behind the wheel of that vehicle had been driving erratically, police said.

Both drivers pulled to the curb and the occupants exited their vehicles, at which point the Jeep’s driver punched the victim in the head. The victim was knocked unconscious and fell to the ground, the LAPD reported. The suspects jumped back in the Jeep, which was last seen heading south on Woodman Avenue from Victory Boulevard, police said.

Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics transported the victim to a hospital, police said. He remained in treatment and has not regained consciousness. His name and age were withheld.

The suspect who was driving the Jeep and allegedly struck the victim was described as a 20- to 30-year-old Armenian man, about 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighing 150 pounds, with short black hair. He was wearing a black sweatshirt, white shirt and black pants.

The other two suspects were also described as 20- to 30-year-old Armenian men with black hair, one of them 6-foot-1 and 170 pounds and the other 5-foot-9 and 140 pounds.
