A regular fixture on CBS' "The Young and the Restless," playing the role of a bartender, the incident of Corey Sligh beaten happened after he called out one of the men for reckless driving at a Rite Aid store in West Hollywood, California, CBS Los Angeles reports.
The gang of drunks had been pulling donuts and speeding in the store parking lot and they lashed out when he told them to be careful, according to the Daily Mail.
The event reportedly took place while he was with his girlfriend, Alisa Berhorst. As a result of the Corey Sligh beaten, the 27-year-old actor ended up with a broken arm and was being treated at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, reports CBS News.
Berhost, also an actress, spoke with KCAL9's Laurie Perez from outside Cedars-Sinai. She told Perez that she's barely slept the past 24 hours because of the incident resulting in Corey Sligh beaten.
"The whole imagery of everything that happened last night is still very fresh and scary," Berhorst said.
She has been at Sligh's bedside since the actor was admitted and treated for multiple injuries. Due to the Corey Sligh beaten incident, he sustained a broken arm which required surgery, according to CBS Local.
Berhorst added that the two men who were speeding in a car around the parking lot were doing donuts.
"They almost hit people in the parking lot. They were hitting curbs, and Corey said, "Please slow down or we're gonna call the cops, just go home," she explained of the occurrence leading to Corey Sligh beaten.
Allegedly drunk, the driver reportedly did not like it that Sligh told him to slow down in the parking lot.
"The guy walked up on him like "I'm in the mood to kill somebody and this is who it's going to be because he told me to be careful and slow down and go away,"' Berhorst further explained.
The man reportedly even hit Sligh with their car. When he got out of the vehicle, the man started beating Sligh.
At the time, with Corey Sligh beaten, Berhorst said she didn't know if the attack would even stop.
After the alleged attack and Corey Sligh beaten, the suspects quickly fled the scene using their vehicle. However, they reportedly crashed in a place not too far from the scene before they had been arrested by the LAPD.
There was a witness who followed them and who helped police track the suspects who had Corey Sligh beaten. According to the LAPD, they have arrested the two men who exchanged words with the couple.
Even with Corey Sligh beaten, the fact that the suspects were already put into custody gives Sligh and Berhorst much happiness that justice was served. "I'm thankful he's okay. I'm thankful that we didn't get killed," Berhorst said.
