A homeless man nearly blinded Olympian Kim Glass in a Los Angeles attack. Glass revealed her facial injuries
The model’s horrific attack, which occurred on Saturday, was shared on Instagram. The 37-year-old former athlete and model showed her right eye completely shut, blackened, stitched, and a nasty gash on her nose. “I do have multiple fractures,”
“Yes, I look like ET,” joked Glass, who has previously appeared in Sports Illustrated’s swimsuit issue as well as ESPN’s The Body Issue. The homeless man approached Glass as county district attorney George Gascon. “He had something in his hand,”
“As I turned to tell my friend, ‘I think something’s wrong with him, and I think he’s going to hit the car’ — before I knew it, a big metal bolt-like pipe hit me,”
“It happened so fast. He literally flung it from the street,” said the retired volleyball player.
“It kinda took me down and out,”
“You shouldn’t have to be fearful when you walk, but it’s true. You guys just be safe, OK,”
