A Santa Monica city councilman was attacked on July 16 at about 2:45 p.m. while walking along the Third Street Promenade, an outdoor dining and shopping street, with his wife after asking a possibly homeless man to pick up his trash.
“I asked him if he could pick up the trash and put it in a trash can. ... The trash can was literally six feet from him,” Phil Brock, who was elected in 2020, told The Epoch Times.
