“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.

In Commiefornia, not just in the street, but in state government offices in LA, San Francisco, and all the way into Sacramento.

““There’s a lot of mentally ill people on these streets right now.”

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

“There’s a lot of mentally ill people on these streets right now"

Maybe now is a good time to stop voting for Democrats?

[Nashcash]

Thanks to the Democrats you should be fearful at all times.

I have no idea who she is, but she might consider concealed carry .

“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.

Pissed off, she was appropriating Anglo hair style?

Pissed off, she was an Olympic Amazon?

“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..."

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.

The inmates run the asylum that is California.

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!!

[BookmanTheJanitor]

There’s a lot of mentally ill people on these streets right now.

...and they have a lot more rights and protections than you.

[moovova]

I wonder how she votes?

[BenLurkin]

Not guilty

[Mr. K]

She certainly LOOKS not guilty...

Downtown L.A. skid row:

Everyone of these nutters was created by psychiatrists.

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.
