Corey Sligh, who played a waiter and bartender on "The Young and the Restless", was hospitalized after being beaten by two strangers on Thursday night, November 27. He shared a black-and-white photo of him in his hospital bed, wearing a neck brace.
He captioned it, "Hey kids, went to feed some people last night who don't have blessed thanksgivings and along the way got struck by a drunk driver! Have a surgery to go and another couple days in the hospital but should be fine soon! Thankful to still be on this great planet! Love y'all!"
Corey and his girlfriend Alisa Berhorst were heading to a Rite-Aid in Los Angeles to deliver a Thanksgiving meal to a friend when they encountered two men speeding in the parking lot and doing donuts. Alisa told KCAL9 that the two men "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.' "
The two men then allegedly hit Corey with their car and then got out of the car to beat him up. "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,' " Alisa added.
Corey, who suffered a broken arm, was rushed to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. "I'm thankful he's okay. I'm thankful that we didn't get killed," Alisa said of his boyfriend.
The two suspects have been arrested by cops. Police told the site that the two suspects fled the scene but later crashed their car and were tracked down by a witness.
