Three individuals assaulted an El Camino College student on Crenshaw Boulevard near GiGi’s Pizza on Tuesday, Nov. 18 around 11:30 a.m., according to the ECC Police Department.

Videos of the incident, which have circulated on social media, allegedly suggest the attack may be gang-related and claim the victim is an internet provocateur.

The student’s phone was also taken during the incident.

The student was left injured in the road with Gardena Police, ECC campus police and Emergency Medical Technicians responding to the scene.

A female ECC student assisted the victim and brought him to Lot B, where police and EMTs attempted to help him.

After requesting to use the bathroom, the victim fled.

“He had some visible injuries but…he didn’t want anything to do with us, and didn’t want anything to do with Gardena or the fire department,” ECCPD Sgt. Francisco Esqueda said.

An employee at Mr. H’s Lunch Place, who declined to provide their name, said that there’s always accidents around the area, especially by Manhattan Beach Boulevard.

Daisy Gutierrez, a radiologic technology student at ECC and an employee at Noodles Noodles on Crenshaw Boulevard, said the last incident she saw in that area was of an individual getting shot in a vehicle about a month ago.

The assault is being investigated by the Gardena Police Department.
