Reality TV Hosts File Police Complaint After Hollywood Road-Rage Attack Caught on Video

A new vandalism complaint puts the filmed attack on the police record.

Overview

  • Fashion hosts Pol' Atteu and Patrik Simpson say a Toyota 4Runner blocked their car at Melrose and Vine and then struck it during a Sunday morning confrontation.
  • Cell phone video shows the driver punching the window and kicking the door, and the pair said a passenger in the SUV appeared to hold a baby.
  • They followed the fleeing 4Runner to record a license plate while on the phone with 911, despite a dispatcher telling them not to follow.
  • The couple say LAPD later directed them to file an online report that treated the case as vandalism, which they questioned.
  • On Tuesday, they filed a vandalism complaint at LAPD’s Hollywood Division, reported about $5,000 in damage to their Mercedes, and police have not announced an identification or arrest.
