The victim awoke in a medical tent an hour later, declined further treatment, and police acted after receiving public videos and tips.
Pasadena police arrested a Hawthorne man Thursday, Aug. 21, who is accused of assaulting three people at a Rose Bowl concert after someone spilled a drink on him last week. Officers arrested Julio Cesar Lopez Zavala, 23, after receiving videos and tips from the public of the alleged assault at the Aug. 16 concert of Rufus Du Sol, an Australian alternative dance band, according to the Pasadena Police Department.
The victim said on social media that the attack happened after she reached her seat in section 12H of the stadium and spilled a drink on the man in front of her. She apologized, but the man yelled at her and returned about 30 minutes later, threatening violence, the woman said. I tried to calm the situation and apologized again and the next thing I remember, I woke up in the medical tent an hour later and missed the entire show, she said.
