The attacker got back on his scooter and pulled into traffic before driving away.
The video shows the victim struggling to get back up.
She lost consciousness and was eventually diagnosed with a concussion, according to Fox11. She is expected to recover.
The victim was eventually taken to a local hospital for treatment for the head injury.
The suspect remains at large and the LAPD is still investigating and trying to gather more information.
It comes as major cities continue to see crime rates rise in 2022, as violent crime rose 4.4 percent in the first half of the year compared to the same period in 2021, mainly due to sharp increases in robbery rates ( 13 percent) and aggravated assault (2.6 percent).
New York City posted a 39 percent increase in robberies and a 21 percent increase in major assaults, while Los Angeles saw those numbers rise 22 percent and 21 percent, respectively. San Francisco and Baltimore also saw steep increases.
It’s unclear what’s driving the surge, but Covid-19 has fueled massive social unrest and derailed government and community support systems. Gun sales also surged during the pandemic.
The police forces are overloaded. Crime rates are rising even as police, exhausted by the pandemic and disillusioned by calls to cut funding after George Floyd’s murder, stop or retire sooner than they can be replaced.
Police chiefs are trying to recruit recruits in a tight labor market while rethinking what services they can provide and what role officers should play in their communities. Many have shifted experienced officers to patrol duties to keep up with 911 calls.
