访谈录 2014-04-04&04-06 当红小生扎克•埃夫隆在洛杉矶遭游民殴打

 He’s the former  teen heartthrob from high school musical, but this morning Zac Efron isn’t making headlines for singing and dancing, but reportedly for fighting. According to K ABC, the LA PD confirms that a battery report was taken, involving actor Zac Efron in a second person. A new LA Times reports says Efron and a friend got into a brawl¹ with at least one homeless person early Sunday in downtown Los Angeles. Officers reported they arrived on scene just before 2.30 in the morning, and found quote “indications of an altercation².” According to LA Times, Efron and his friend were reportedly waiting for help under a freeway overpass³ after their car became stranded⁴ near LA’s notorious skid⁵ row. 

 

It’s a high crime area, narcotics⁶ area, and crimes of violence.

 

Efron shot to fame in 2006 as the star of high school musical, and went on to more mature roles in movies like parkland and that awkward moment, a career path he discussed with josh Elliot last year. 

 

You really have to, you know, sort of follow your heart, and do the projects that really speak to you. 

 

No arrests have been made and Efron has declined to comment. For Good Moring America, ANC News, Mora Skevel Campo, New York.
