A leftist rioter involved in “protesting” against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) claims he suffered severe injuries to his groin, including a “shattered” testicle, after being shot with a rubber bullet by police during a violent riot in downtown Los Angeles.
“It sucks to sit down,” said Martin Santoyo, 33, who described the incident in an interview with KTLA following his release from the hospital.
Santoyo says the injury occurred Monday near Temple Street during escalating protests that turned into violent riots.
He claims he was shot at close range shortly after dismounting his bicycle amidst a confrontation between protesters and law enforcement.
“A man who was out protesting against ICE raids in downtown Los Angeles this week spoke with KTLA after an officer’s close-range shot to his groin with a rubber bullet severely bruised one of his testicles… and ‘shattered’ the other,” KTLA reported.
Santoyo alleges that he did not hear police declare the protest an unlawful gathering before the violence erupted.
