Video released by the Los Angeles Police Department on Monday shows a man who authorities are hoping to identify in connection with a series of attacks on homeless people beaten with a baseball bat while sleeping on the street in downtown L.A.
The suspect appears to also be a transient, LAPD Capt. William Hayes said in an afternoon press briefing, noting that the man is always seen traveling on foot and doesn't appear to use a vehicle.
At least three people were attacked between 4 and 5 a.m. on Sunday, police said. The first incident occurred at the northwest corner of Fifth and Flower streets, while the second and third happened on the south side of Wilshire Boulevard, just east of Flower.
All three victims remained in critical condition Monday night.
