Pacquiao attacked in Hollywood

A white male tried to hit Manny Pacquiao after the Filipino boxing star hosted a sumptuous lunch Sunday at Kabuki, a high-end Japanese restaurant located on Vine Street in Hollywood, California. David Sisson, Pacquiao?s personal assistant said the incident took place at around 3 p.m. at the parking basement of the establishment.

?The man attacked Manny and one of his friends, (Fil-Am) Edward Lura, was able to prevent the man from hitting Manny,? said Sisson on Sunday night.

?He was fast and he almost got Manny,? said Sisson.

Pacquiao did not call the police and just told his security staff to let the man go even as he continued to threw profanities on the 37-year-old boxing icon.

Pacquiao is in Los Angeles training for his April 9 showdown with Tim Bradley in Las Vegas.
