A video making the rounds on social media shows the victim walking behind another bystander, carrying a bag and a piece of luggage. The unidentified woman was punched in the head and fell to the ground by a man wearing a 'Wild Boyz' black zip-up hoodie, white shirt, and black pants.
Over 30 elderly women have been robbed and brutally beaten in Oakland, California in the past week.

The assailant then took a swing at the bystander walking in front of the elderly woman, who was also carrying a suitcase. As he stole one of the elderly woman's bags and the bystander's suitcase, four men chased after him.
The identities of the victims and the suspect have not been revealed. It is unclear if the attacker was arrested.

Since this is Oakland, I assume they will let him go once they arrest him. So, on second thought, don’t even arrest him. Why make the effort?
