Authorities in Dallas are looking into what seems to be a random assault on a woman in the heart of Downtown Dallas.
Surveillance footage from Thursday afternoon showing the attack has been acquired by FOX 4.
A woman is seen standing at an intersection when suddenly, a man approaches from behind and strikes her on the head with an object.
The woman fell to the floor. The assailant proceeded to cross the street, seemingly unfazed by the incident.
Noah Robertson resides and is employed in the local area.
“I’ve never witnessed someone strike another and simply stroll away as if nothing occurred, particularly when it seems they don’t even know each other,” he remarked. “That woman is simply standing there, and that man strikes her for seemingly no reason at all.” That’s unbelievable.
The incident occurred at the intersection of Elm and Field Street.
The organization responsible for security in downtown Dallas describes the incident as an unprovoked attack, noting that their officers arrived on the scene shortly after it occurred.
A local hospital received the victim for treatment. Authorities in Dallas remain tight-lipped about her condition and whether they have any potential suspects in mind.
Robertson remarked that the downtown area typically has a nice vibe. I’ve witnessed some unbelievable things down here. The nights here can get pretty intense, that’s for sure.
A violent incident unfolded in Downtown Dallas on that fateful day.
Only a short distance away On Thursday afternoon, three individuals were shot in an apartment building.
The two attacks occurred simultaneously during the midday hours, coinciding with lunchtime, yet there is no evidence linking them together.
“To be honest, it’s hard to wrap my head around this,” Robertson expressed. “It leaves me feeling a bit vulnerable.”
Officials in Downtown Dallas are collaborating with local law enforcement to track down the individual responsible. New security cameras have been installed in the vicinity.
