Sometimes the streets of Los Angeles are unsafe for its residents even in broad daylight. An elderly man went to a lot of trouble just walking around town.
When the victim with a bag on his shoulder went about their business on La Brea Avenue near Melrose, it suddenly attacked a young man. The first attacker swung at the victim, but the man stepped aside and continued on his way. However, the suspect was resolute and aggressive. After proceeding a few meters close to the victims, it hit his rucksack on the head and knocked to the floor.
