SEATTLE -- A man angry about on-air comments made by radio talk show
host Tom Leykis spotted him outside a Seattle nightspot and kicked
him in the head, police say.
Leykis, based in Los Angeles, was treated at Swedish Medical Center
and required 17 stitches for a cut above his eye. He also sustained
a scraped knee and a black eye in the attack early Monday, a police
report said.
No arrests had been reported by early Thursday.
"We are taking it very seriously," officer Scott Moss said.
Leykis, 48, is known for blunt talk. He named the woman accusing
Kobe Bryant of rape, as well as a woman who tried to commit suicide
by jumping off a bridge in Seattle and the 13-year-old boy raped by
teacher Mary Kay Letourneau.
Leykis said he had never before been attacked by someone upset by
his show.
Leykis, on one of his regular trips to broadcast from Seattle, said
he was getting some fresh air about 3:45 a.m. outside the Five Point
Cafe when a man came out of the nightspot, took a photograph, then
went back inside and showed the digital image to two others.
"I was minding my own business. It was a person who knew who I was
from the radio," Leykis said.
A woman who had been with Leykis then came out of the Belltown-area
restaurant and all three men followed. One said the radio host once
took a call from him and then insulted him on the air, calling him a
name and questioning his virility.
"You had no right to do that," the man said.
One of the other men, the one who had taken the picture, then kicked
Leykis in the head, knocking him to the ground, according to the
police report.
Both men fled and the third apologized as Leykis and the woman got
into a taxicab to go to the radio host's hotel, where police and
medical aid were summoned.
Leykis and the woman have reviewed security camera footage with the
Five Point staff, police officer Sean Whitcomb said.
The bar owner wouldn't comment. Officials at KQBZ-FM, which
broadcasts Leykis' show locally, did not respond to requests for
comment from The Seattle Times and Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
