DALLAS — Surveillance video obtained by CBS News Texas shows a woman standing at an intersection in downtown Dallas when an unknown man walks up behind her hitting her in the back of her head with a blunt object. As the woman falls to the ground the suspect walks away.
“It’s kinda tragic somebody gets attacked like that, especially in the open,” said Amos Daniels who was visiting downtown Dallas on Sunday.
It happened on Thursday around 1:15 p.m. at the intersection of Elm and Field Streets. Police still haven’t been able to identify the attacker. Dallas police released still images of the suspect who was last seen wearing a long black shirt and pants. They said they need the public’s help tracking him down.
“Stuff like this shouldn’t be happening at all,” said Desmond Bailey.
Downtown Dallas is a popular destination for families and friends on weekends. Visitors said news of the recent attack makes them more aware of their surroundings.
