Woman hit with fire extinguisher in Los Angeles, police search for suspect

Police are looking for a man who threw a fire extinguisher at a woman’s head while he was riding an electric scooter in west Los Angeles. 

The victim is recovering from an apparent concussion, FOX 11 reports. The attack took place around 11 a.m. on Pico Boulevard Saturday. 

The victim’s boyfriend, Dan Steinberg, says she was just out for her morning coffee when the attack happened. Steinberg says she heard the man shout something, then disappear. Minutes later, the man returned, shortly before she felt something strike the back of her head. The victim reportedly lost consciousness at one point. 

Nearby surveillance video shows the scooter driver hurling something at the woman before making a U-turn into oncoming traffic and driving away.
