A man who attended a Los Angeles Lakers game last year said in a lawsuit that he was mugged in a restroom inside an arena after his attackers harassed him about his diamond watch and chains.

The lawsuit brought by Efren Graves against AEG-Crypto.com Arena alleges battery, assault, premises liability and general negligence, Fox Los Angeles reported. Graves was at the Lakers’ game against the Memphis Grizzlies on Nov. 24, 2024, when he tried to use a restroom close to his courtside seats where he and his daughter were seated.

The lawsuit said Grave was robbed but doesn’t specify what was taken. 

Grave screamed for help, but security personnel were distracted by the game and not paying attention, the lawsuit said. 

The Lakers beat the Grizzlies, 128-123.
