As the two men were being escorted out of the building one of the suspects “without provocation, turned and punched a store employee, causing him and the suspect to fall to the floor,” the release read.
Police have confirmed the guard broke his arm when hitting the ground and there is surveillance video from the store which shows the suspects being escorted out of the store just moments before unleashing their attack.

The footage shows both the guard and his attacker hitting the ground as another member of the security team rushed to help, only to also be dragged down to the floor.
The Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics were ultimately called to the scene to take the injured guard to a local hospital.
