He and his party luckily made it and stayed at the scene to make sure the police and ambulance arrived.

The hope is that the same level of attention that this story is getting (only because PATEL, as a famous person, got somewhat involved in it) can be a catalyst for lawmakers to be flexible about finding long-term solutions to help not only the individuals involved but the community at large,” the statement from the actor’s representatives summarizes.
Further details of the incident and the motives of the alleged perpetrator have not been made clear.
