After hitting the victim several times with his fists, the suspect went back to his car and left the scene. Cambra said that the victim approached a bystander and asked for them to call for help. He was transported to Henry Mayo Newhall Memorial Hospital, where he was treated and released.

The victim was able to give deputies a license plate number, but not a description of the car. The suspect is described as a male Caucasian, 5’ 8” in height, weighing 170-180 pounds and between 25 to 30 years of age.

Anyone with information regarding the suspect or event is asked to call the Sheriff’s station at 661-255-1121.
