Reality TV Stars' Car Attacked in Hollywood Road-Rage Incident: Suspect Arrested on Felony Vandalism Charges
A man has been arrested for allegedly attacking the car of the reality TV stars behind “Gown and Out in Beverly Hills” in a frightening road-rage incident. The suspect, Kevin Hernandez, was apprehended by the LAPD on felony vandalism charges. The incident took place at the intersection of Melrose Avenue and Vine Street in Hollywood, where Pol Atteu and Patrik Simpson were stopped at a red light. Video footage shows the suspect striking their car before fleeing the scene. The couple expressed gratitude for law enforcement's swift action and the order of protection granted for their safety.
Atteu and Simpson described the incident as extremely threatening and violent, causing them to fear for their lives. They emphasized that they had no prior interaction with the suspect and did not provoke the attack. The motive behind the suspect's actions remains unclear. The couple estimated the damage to their car at around $10,000, with a dealership assessing it at a higher cost due to the vehicle being a loaner. Following the attack, the suspect fled the scene, prompting the couple to call 911 and report his dangerous driving behavior.
The couple commended law enforcement for their quick response and highlighted the serious consequences of violent road-rage incidents. They urged the public to be mindful of their actions while driving and to avoid engaging in aggressive behavior on the road.
