He was wearing a grey t-shirt and jeans. The security employee involved in the incident was a 43-year-old man, whose glasses were damaged during the altercation.
During the scuffle, the attendee struck the security employee in the face with his elbow and verbally abused him several times. The security employee sustained minor facial injuries and was treated in a hospital. After the scuffle, the attendee managed to escape.
