Transient Sentenced for Attacking Boy Outside Walt Disney Concert Hall

A homeless man has been sentenced to six years in state prison after pleading no contest to attacking an 11-year-old boy outside a downtown Los Angeles concert hall last year, prosecutors said.

Raul Villalba Ocampo, 33, entered his plea to one count of child abuse before being sentenced.

The boy was attacked on Dec. 10, 2015, while on a field trip, officials said.

He was standing outside the Walt Disney Concert Hall when Ocampo assaulted him, prosecutors said.

He placed the boy in a chokehold and punctured the victim's neck with a sharpened key and continued to hold onto the boy until security personnel were able to intervene, authorities said.
