Corey Feldman has tweeted his delight after evidence emerged supporting his claims that he was attacked during a road rage confrontation last month. 

The former child star had been trolled on Twitter about the validity of his story after LAPD appeared to initially dismiss the attack, saying the actor had no visible injuries.

However now surveillance footage from a nearby gas station has surfaced showing a confrontation, while a group of firefighters have come forward to support Feldman's version of events.

'LAPD IS IN FACT ON THE CASE, THIS GIVES ME GR8 HOPE THAT MY ASSAILANTS WILL B BROUGHT 2 JUSTICE,' wrote a relieved Feldman on Twitter on Thursday night.

The Blast spoke to several sources who revealed that multiple firefighters, including an engineer and captain, had come forward in support of Feldman's version of events.

It also emerged that 'credible and clear' surveillance footage was also obtained from a nearby gas station.

Feldman was admitted to hospital for treatment for a wound to his abdomen following the March 28 assault.

The 46-year-old claimed a group of men had surrounded his car, with one assaulting him through an open window.

Feldman initially said he was anxious the alleged attack could have been related to his decision to speak out against child sex abuse in Hollywood - but his lawyer Perry Wander later blamed road rage for the incident.

Blood and urine tests run by the hospital came back clean of both drugs and infectious diseases.

Following the confrontation the actor explained onTwitter that he was sitting in his car while his security detail was distracted by a group of men, an individual opened his door and stabbed him with 'something.'

Feldman expressed his fears that this attack was the work of the 'wolfpack,' a group of powerful Hollywood players that he believes have been trying to kill him in order to get revenge after he named a number of alleged pedophiles in the movie industry.

The Goonies actor has previously received backlash online for his claims that he was molested by a powerful Hollywood executive.

Feldman first came forward with his account in his 2013 memoir, Coreyography, claiming that both he and Corey Haim were repeatedly abused as up-and-coming actors.

Since the recent Harvey Weinstein sex scandals sparked a surge of Hollywood heavyweights getting toppled from their positions of power, Feldman's previous accounts of abuse at the hands of showbiz executives have gained new traction.

Back in December, the actor was vindicated again as police in California said they had uncovered a tape in which a younger Feldman listed the names of men who had abused him in the past.

The former child actor had claimed in October that he had given the names of sexual predators in Hollywood to the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Office in 1993 during their investigation into Michael Jackson's molestation charges.

Then in November, the actor revealed the identities of two alleged child molesters he claims took advantage of him and other adolescent screen stars years ago. 

In November, the LAPD revealed it was investigating this rumored Hollywood pedophile ring after Feldman filed a formal police report identifying the men.

'Corey Feldman filed a report with the Los Angeles Police Department. There is no further information at this time, and his report is being investigated,' a spokesperson told DaillyMail.com at the time. 

The actor married Courtney Anne Mitchell, 28, in 2016 and shares 13-year-old son, Zen with ex-wife Susie Sprague.
