Zac Efron's Bodyguard Claims The Actor Was A Hero During Attack! But When You Hear About His Record, Will You Still Believe They're Innocent?

zac efron hero in bodyguard attack

This is such a crazy, CRAZY situation.

We told you this morning how Zac Efron was involved in an attack with several transients in a not-so-nice part of El Lay that's known for drugs and gangs.

But now we're hearing from the bodyguard involved that Zac was actually a hero during the scary moment.

The bodyguard is reporting that they were going to a restaurant in Little Tokyo when they suddenly ran out of gas. That's when the alleged bottle throwing incident occurred to spur on the attack from the transients.

However, the bodyguard is claiming the attack started when the strangers randomly came after him with something similar to a spear or shank. The man was allegedly stabbed in the stomach, face, and chest.

And then THAT is when Zac apparently got out of the car and started swinging a vodka bottle to fend off the attack. From what we hear from the bodyguard, it worked!

But, we must advise, take this all with a grain of salt because we're also hearing that this "bodyguard" has a criminal record for drugs and violence.

Not to mention, what was Zac doing with a vodka bottle in his car in the first place??

We're glad Zac is safe, but this isn't looking too good for his recovery.

We sincerely hope he can get back on track and keep dangerous people out of his life!

Man, this story is dumber than the broken jaw one. WTF is going on with this guy? The real story is probably worse than what we're hearing from the so called bodyguard.

Re: sshsh – when said criminal record dude is under a bridge near skid row after midnight with an actor who has been publicly struggling with addiction issues and the only reason to be under an effing bridge after midnight in skid row is to score some serious shit, yes-don't believe them!!

Not an accurate portrayal of Skid Row — I volunteer there every week, in fact, going there tonight. Yes, there are well-known areas where victims of drug abuse reside, but in the 5 years my organization has been going there - no volunteer has ever been attacked or even threatened. It is true that many of the homeless are mentally ill, but it is very rare for someone to walk up to you, unprovoked, and attack for no apparent reason. This is such a sad situation of all parts, but I don't think Efron and the bodyguard were 100% innocent in this.
