A local hospital needs the public’s help to identify a patient who was found injured in Los Angeles.

The female patient has been hospitalized since Aug. 16 at the Los Angeles General Medical Center.

She was found lying on the ground on East Chavez Street. Officials believe her injuries were likely caused by a vehicle striking her.

She is around 35 years old, stands 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighs around 127 pounds. She has dark brown hair, brown eyes and a slim build, hospital staff said.

The woman does not have any personal belongings to help workers identify her.

Anyone who recognizes the patient or has additional information is asked to call weekend supervisors Melissa De Ramos or Teresa Ejanda-Sano at 323-840-8816.

If calling on Monday-Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., the public can contact clinical social worker Cesar Robles at 323-409-6884.

This is the most dumbest story I have heard! Not the patient but the hospital staff don’t have enough sense to have the detectives run her prints and ID her so they can find next of kin.. SUCH IDIOTS!

She had to be robbed and probably fought back and these bastards did this to her. Sad world we live in.
