Police are asking for the public to help identify a man who stabbed a disabled man in the back inside a fast-food restaurant in Mar Vista last week.

The attack, which was captured on video, occurred around 6:55 p.m. Oct. 3 in the 12000 block of Venice Boulevard, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.

Responding officers found paramedics treating the 82-year-old victim who suffered stab wounds to his neck and shoulder.

The man was taken to a hospital with severe injuries. He was last listed in stable condition and is recovering, police said.

Surveillance video from inside the restaurant released by police on Thursday shows the assailant entering the restaurant while holding a small red skateboard and a weapon. He approaches the victim from behind as the victim is eating next to his wheelchair and the assailant stabs the victim, the video shows.

The man then ran away heading toward Inglewood Avenue, police said.
