So my day today began with opening the office, and as our first patient was walking in the front door we heard screaming and a scuffle right outside. Then the screaming became urgent panicked sobbing so we all went running out to find a guy attacking a woman and kicking her while she was on the ground. My boss yelled and scared the guy away and he must have been strung out because he was like lightning when he took off.
Dr. B tells me to call the police as he's trying to help her and oddly she says "don't touch me" over and over as she's sobbing. She gets up and starts to limp away and there's nothing anyone could do because you can't restrain her.
So as she's limping away this lady pulls up and says "did he find her again?!?!" Apparently down the street this lady had witnessed the guy beating her in his car and she had stumbled out of the car and the lady yelled at her to get in her car and she would take her to safety and she refused and ran down the street. So I guess he followed her on foot and "found" her again in front of our office.
Hat's off to the LGPD though. They came, sirens blaring, in 3 minutes flat and took descriptions and statements and went looking for both the man and woman.
Crazy morning!
