“He just like looked at me with some pretty hateful eyes,” said Glass, who thought the man was about to hit the car she was standing near.
Instead, the man flung a metal pipe that struck her in the face.
Stitches were required to close the wound over her eye, she said.
Bystanders came and held the man down until police arrived at the intersection of South Olive and West 8th streets and took him into custody.
Glass said she had no previous interaction with the man and warned others to be ready for anything when out in public.
“There’s a lot of mentally ill people on these streets right now. You shouldn’t have to be fearful when you walk but it’s true … You guys just be safe,” Glass said.
The incident occurs as Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascon is facing criticism and a recall effort over his approach to crime.

The old days of every county having a mental hospital needs to be revisited.

“Bystanders came and held the man down until police arrived...”
In L.A.? I’m impressed. Maybe citizens are finally getting fed up with all the BS.

Truer words were never spoken. They're all over the place wandering around, and some are ready and willing to attack if you cross their paths. I'm speaking from experience here in Gascon's L.A. County. It's a dystopian world out here.

Who is more mentally ill? The mentally ill people wandering the street or the people who vote to continue to allow them to do so, committing crimes and getting out the same day?
There are a lot of mentally I’ll people out there!! I vote we open the gates of the asylum!!

Yep, drove up Main to hit Phillipes before the Dodger game last month for the first time in years. It was always bad...but now it looks like some zombie apocalypse.
