Police in California are looking for a man they say attacked a woman walking with a baby in a stroller and then committed a second assault.
Photos released of the suspect show him carrying what appears to be a rod or pipe. The victims were targeted in broad daylight.
The first attack happened Thursday morning near 21st Street and Locust Avenue in Long Beach, police said. Video obtained by FOX 11 Los Angeles showed a woman strolling with her baby when the assailant struck her from behind with what police said was an “unknown object.” The child was not injured.
Less than three hours and two streets away from the initial attack, the same suspect allegedly attacked a 60-year-old woman, according to FOX 11. A woman told the TV station her mother was not robbed by the man, but ended up in the emergency room as a result of the attack.
