The security guard then swings for Fred’s head, landing multiple punches. He is later dragged out by one leg.
"He just went at me. After the second hit, I don’t remember anything, I just remember going down and seeing him over me, punching me with all his might," said Ochoa Jr.
After that incident, Ochoa Jr tells FOX 26 he suffered multiple injures from a busted nose to a torn tendon in his hip, that’s also causing him foot issues.

"That upset me so I said, ‘are you all going to help her? If not I’ll help her,’" said Ochoa Jr. "I said I’m going to report this and that's when they started moving around."
