Ezra Blount, referred to in the lawsuit as E.B., attended Astroworld with his father, Treston Blount, and "was kicked, stepped on and trampled and nearly crushed to death," according to the lawsuit filed on Tuesday (Nov 9).

"He is currently in an induced coma on life support and has incurred severe liver, kidney and brain damage," the suit states. "To his young, growing body, these injuries will have life-long effects, impairing his quality of life and ability to grow and thrive as he would have had he not been subjected to this incident."
