LOS ANGELES (AP) - Prosecutors have filed multiple battery charges against a California man whose clash with two women over a hot dog was caught on now-viral video.
The Los Angeles city attorney’s office said Wednesday that 30-year-old Arka Sangbarani Oroojian of Sylmar was charged with five felony counts of battery. If convicted, he could face up to 2½ years in jail.
It’s unclear whether Oroojian has an attorney.
A video of the Jan. 26 clash posted by Los Angeles police shows Oroojian throw a woman to the ground next to a downtown hot dog stand, then punch a second as she approached.
He punched the first woman two more times, once as she was getting up and as she wound up to hit him. He hit the second woman again as she stood still.
