Criminal proceedings were suspended Tuesday for a homeless man with a criminal past who allegedly randomly attacked Olympic silver medal-winning volleyball player, Kim Glass, last Friday.
Doubt was declared about the mental competency of parolee, Semeon Tesfamariam, 51. He was ordered to undergo a mental health evaluation shortly after being charged with a felony count of assault with a deadly weapon against Glass.
"I fell to the ground my phone falls the ground and all of sudden, blood is just squirting everywhere," Glass told CBSLA Tuesday. She revealed that she has sustained several fractures around her eye as a result, though she does not believe her vision will be impacted in the long run. Glass said she does not believe her vision will be impacted long-term, noting she"got really great stitching from the doctor." She said she had multiple fractures around her eye.In a statement, District Attorney George Gascón called it"a brutal, unprovoked attack."
