Our Kardashian sources tell us they were confident after Rob was admitted to the hospital late last month and diagnosed with type 2 diabetes he'd begin eating healthy, exercising and doing whatever it took to beat the disease.

'Sandlot' Star Brutal Details of Attack Victim Died ... Revived by Alleged Assailants

Published | Updated

"The Sandlot" star who has been charged with felony assault helped beat a grad student within an inch of his life ... according to new legal docs.

Michael Vitar, who played Benny "The Jet" Rodriguez in the flick, allegedly attacked the 23-year-old USSB student on Halloween night.

According to a search warrant obtained by TMZ, 2 of Vitar's friends, both of whom are firefighters, spotted Samuel Chang passing out candy in the street of his gated L.A. community. The firefighters suspected Chang was passing out tainted candy and confronted him.

The warrant claims the 2 firefighters began beating on Chang, restraining him with a chokehold. The legal docs claim Vitar -- now a firefighter as well -- joined in, mid beating.

The warrant says the beating was so bad Chang's pulse stopped and the firefighters had to get their gear and revive him.

Chang was taken to the hospital with horrific injuries, including burst blood vessels in the eye, bleeding on the brain, kidney failure and hemorrhaging due to suffocation.

Chang had recorded the audio of the beating on his cell phone, and cops believe they can hear Vitar say, "I got the legs."

The student says he smelled alcohol on the breath of one of the firefighters. The firefighters told cops they believed Chang was under the influence of PCP, but doctors found no drugs in his system.

A guy with a bum kidney who worked at Kleinfeld Bridal -- the store featured on TLC's smash hit, "Say Yes to the Dress" -- claims he was savagely beaten on the stairs going into the store, and he's filed a bridal brutality suit.

William Martinez claims he worked for Kleinfeld from 2011 - 2014 and everything was hunky dory until his last year on the job, when he was hospitalized with kidney problems and it left him unable to do the various physical tasks he was assigned.

Martinez says he went to one of the managers -- Manny -- and said he needed to be reassigned to clerical duties, but Manny kept making him do heavy lifting and later, told him to just "go the f*** home."

According to the lawsuit, Martinez told Manny he was going to file an HR complaint, and Manny responded by pushing him into a chair. Martinez finally left but when he came back he says Manny, with the help of a posse, took his cane away and beat the crap out of him.

Martinez says he was hospitalized and then fired by HR.

He's suing under the Americans with Disabilities Act for all sorts of money.
