Daily Caller reporter Jorge Ventura, who witnessed the event, told Fox & Friends on Tuesday, “I actually arrived on scene moments after the vehicle crashed. So as soon as I arrived on the scene, the mob pulled out the victim.” He added, “He did not fight back. Several men punched Adam in the face. He actually hit the ground. When he hit the ground, a female then kicked him in the back of the head, and then we saw a suspect with a vest that said ‘security’ kick him in the head, and that sent Adam unconscious.”
Love’s bail has been set at $260,000.
