Woman attacked with fire extinguisher in West LA
A woman is recovering after she was hit in the head by a man who attacked her with a fire extinguisher on Pico Boulevard Saturday morning in West Los Angeles.
The suspect, who is still on the loose, was riding a bird scooter when he approached the victim from behind and hit her.
The victim was knocked to the ground and hardly knew what was going on after the attack.
The suspect fled the scene on the scooter.
"She had no idea - that was not even in her consciousness that she was being attacked," Dan Steinberg, the victim's boyfriend told CBSLA Reporter Jake Reiner. "Within about a block a man approached in a car and said are you okay, I saw that man assault you with a fire extinguisher."
The victim, who wished to remain anonymous, told Reiner she was diagnosed with a concussion and will see a neurologist.
"She's resting comfortably but she's not feeling well from the side effects," Steinberg said.
The search is still on for the suspect and the weapon used to attack the woman. The fire extinguisher was gone from the scene after police arrived.
