AceShowbiz - Former "Deadliest Catch" star Jake Harris is currently hospitalized after being robbed and attacked. Multiple reports said that he was found on Saturday night, November 12 badly injured on the side of the road.
The incident began earlier in the day, when Harris left the Quil Ceda Creek Casino with some people in a car where a fight later broke out. The people reportedly beat up the 31-year-old and stole his ID, wallet and cash before throwing him out of the vehicle.
A passerby spotted Harris and then called cops. Officer Aaron Snell told PEOPLE that the victim was "alert, conscious, answering questions and breathing" at the time and he refused to be taken to the hospital. He was taken home before his family sent him to the hospital, admitting him to the ICU where he's been treated for a cracked skull and brain damage.
On Sunday, Harris' brother Josh Harris took to Facebook Live to detail his condition and share some info about the people who attacked him. "I have some terrible news today. My brother was jumped last night and some individuals decided to beat him pretty good, which is a terrible, terrible thing," he said in a video.
"I have located these people and talked with him - he's in ICU right now. Some individuals beat him to the point where it cracked his skull from his forehead all the way back to where you would be balding as an individual," he continued. "My brother is bleeding out of his brain currently."
Josh Harris also flashed photos of the suspects, identified as Spokane couple Amanda Ritter-Crandall and Jorel Fultz. In another video posted on Tuesday, he said his brother had confirmed that the people in the pictures were the ones who attacked him.
