Jackson pummeled an unconscious wrestler, Syko Stu, several times before he was pulled off by other wrestlers in the ring. The LAPD reported took a police report at the event after being called.

On Sunday, the KnokX pro wrestling promotion released a statement on the inexcusable incident, which left Syko Stu, whose real name is Stuart Smith, hospitalized.

“First and foremost our thoughts and prayers are with our brother Mr. Stuart Smith (Syko Stu) as he remains a priority and we are monitoring his well being,” a representative of KnokX Pro Wrestling Academy wrote. “What was supposed to be a planned and agreed upon wrestling spot turned into a selfish, irresponsible act of violence against Mr. Smith.”
