Blackhawks fan files lawsuit claiming he was beaten at Kings playoff game
A Chicago Blackhawks fan is suing Los Angeles Kings team owner Anschutz Entertainment Group after claiming he was beaten by a Kings fan during a playoff game last season.
Bruce Dobrowski filed the lawsuit through the Los Angeles Superior Court on Tuesday alleging loss of consortium.
According to Dobrowski, he and some friends attended Game 3 of the Western Conference Final where they were made "unassuming prime targets for the anger and hostility by Kings fans who had become fueled by the AEG-Staples Centers unchecked provision for sale of beer and wine" since they were wearing Blackhawks jerseys.
Dobrowski claimed him and one of his friends were "brutally assaulted and battered, in plain sight of inept, understaffed and ineffective security." In his suit he goes on to say he was forced to "fend for himself after rendered semi-conscious from blows with the singular assistance provided only by one other good Samaritan attendee."
The attack left Dobrowski with a laceration on his face, fractured bones in his face, as well as injuries to his back, upper torso, and hands.
The plaintiff is seeking $1.5 million in damages.
