resident to come face to face with violence. >> he must have come up that alley, he came in and was right in the corner. he had a hoodie pulled down almost to his eyebrows, and then he had a mask up around his nose so all i saw were eyes, so i just started screaming. >> oh, my gosh. >> and he just ran to me and just kept beating me, beating my face. i fell to the ground between the two cars. and he just kept slugging me with his fist, and i kept screaming and the only words he ever said were just shut up. >> did you think this man might actually kill you? >> totally. this was somebody who wanted to do evil and hurt someone. that's what i saw, so yeah, i thought he was going to kill me so i just stayed on the ground. >> and then as suddenly as he appeared, the attacker was gone.
