Arrest made after woman knocked unconscious during road rage fight at LAX

Los Angeles police arrested a man Friday in connection with a road rage-fueled fight at Los Angeles International Airport that knocked an elderly woman to the ground, leaving her unconscious.

Jasan Givens Sr. was arrested shortly after 10 a.m. in the Chesterfield Square area of ​​South Los Angeles by members of an LAPD and airport police task force.

According to online reports, he was booked into the Los Angeles Police Department's 77th Street Jail on suspicion of battery, and his bail was set at $50,000. Givens is scheduled to make his first court appearance on July 12.

Police say a preliminary investigation suggests Givens, 38, and another man had a violent argument before their May 31 fight. The incident occurred around 9:25 a.m.

Surveillance camera video shows a man, who police said was Givens, chasing a shirtless man down the sidewalk before continuing down the street past the baggage claim area. There, an elderly woman stood while her luggage was unloaded from her vehicle.

Givens and the other man then punch the woman, just as Givens attacks the other man from behind, the video shows. The woman was thrown to the ground, face down.

The two men can then be seen fighting on the ground behind the vehicle while the woman lies motionless next to them while others approach to check on her.

The woman, who was not identified, lost consciousness and was taken to a hospital in critical condition, police said. She has since been released. No further details were given on the extent of his injuries.

As Givens fled, KTLA-TV Channel 5 reported the other man involved in the fight was arrested, police said.

“The most shocking thing… is that after this happened, both individuals did not render assistance,” said LAPD Det. Scott Danielson told the station. “Our victim here could be your mother or your grandmother.”
