DALLAS — It’s a video that’s left many shocked and frankly outraged.
Now we’re learning more about the woman who was violently attacked in downtown Dallas last week.
Dallas County District Clerk Felicia Pitre confirmed to CBS News Texas that the victim was a support clerk in the district clerk’s office.
“She’s up and walking she’s coherent, so she’s doing as well as to be expected,” said Pitre.
Her name is Elizabeth. For privacy reasons, the district clerk did not want to share her last name.
She was out taking a break when she was attacked last Thursday. Elizabeth had to have surgery following the attack and will likely need rehab.
When her team at the district clerk’s office found out what happened the District Clerk rushed to the scene to identify her.
“I wanted her to know that she’s important and I lead by example and I was determined to be there for her, just to let her know her district clerk family is there for her,” said Pitre.
