Police are seeking a man suspected of assaulting and robbing four Korean women in Los Angeles between November and December of last year, according to authorities.
The robberies took place between 10:50 p.m. and 4:30 a.m in different apartment buildings in Koreatown and the East Hollywood area. The robber, who appears to be a Latino man around 20 to 30 in age and 5-foot-6 to 5-foot-8 in height, followed each of the female victims into an apartment elevator and viciously assaulted them before stealing their purses.
Police said that the suspect sexually battered and punched one victim several times. In a separate instance, he slammed the victim’s head on the ground, kicked her and attacked her with a “sharp object” to the neck.
In addition, the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) released a surveillance footage from one of the robberies.
Anyone with information about the robberies is asked to call LAPD’s Olympic Division robbery detectives at (213) 382-9460.
