A woman was attacked and injured by a suspected homeless man in the Beverly Grove neighborhood of Los Angeles last month.

As WeHo Online details, the woman, whose identity was not disclosed, posted on social media that she was attacked near the intersection of Melrose Avenue and Crescent Heights Boulevard on June 24 while walking her dog, Bijou.


The attacker, whom she describes as a 6-foot-tall black man, approached her from behind and gave her a black eye and numerous cuts.

“He attacked a woman half his size for absolutely no reason,” she wrote. “I didn’t even look at him. He is crazy and dangerous. I will not rest until he is in jail.”

After she reported the attack, the Los Angeles police “didn’t even come,” she said, so she filed a report at the West Hollywood Sheriff’s Station.

“I’m really worried about how many women he will harm before he gets caught,” she added.
