This is the shocking moment a 63-year-old Florida man is brutally attacked in a movie theater after asking a couple to leave his pre-booked VIP seat.
Horrifying footage showed the victim being pounced on by the suspect before being repeatedly pummeled during the vicious attack in Pompano Beach.
The video shows the elderly white man and his wife approach the attacker, politely ask them to move – then be violently assaulted as he tried to escape.
Cops said they have launched a hunt for the perpetrator, who is black, and released a security footage image of him after the event on July 10 at 10pm.

According to a release from the Broward Sheriff’s Office, the unknown man began ‘aggressively getting in the victim’s face.’
The aggressor moved so close to the victim that he had to take a step back and ended up standing on the stairs in the theater’s aisle, as a trailer for the new Mission Impossible installment plays on screen.
Video footage of the incident depicts the attacker moving toward the victim, eventually shoving him against a railing.
The victim, at one point, loses his balance and tumbles down the aisle stairs.

The attacker, who appears to be black, then stands above the man and continues throwing punches at his head and face, stopping only when witnesses pulled him off.
The victim was transported to a local hospital with several injuries to his head and face, according to the release.
The perpetrator and his apparent date left theater and, according to footage, quickly left the complex.
Though the attacker’s face is clearly shown on camera, authorities have yet to apprehend a suspect and are asking members of the public with information regarding the man’s identity to contact the sheriff’s office at 954-601-5905.
