An LA Times story yesterday reported a weird series of sneak attacks, which has left four Latino middle-aged men seriously hurt. Assailant(s) have snuck up behind the victims and hit them on the head, possibly with a baseball bat. The men were not robbed. Victims never saw their stalkers, and there are no known witnesses. Eric Garcetti told the Times that three of the attacks occurred near his house, in Elysian Heights. Very creepy.
