Unidentified Man, Believed to Be 25–35, Was Discovered in Distress With Severe Swelling and Bruising
Harbor-UCLA Medical Center is asking for the public’s assistance in identifying a man who was brought in with serious injuries after being found lying in a street in Inglewood on Sunday morning.
Los Angeles City firefighters transported the man to the hospital around 7:10 a.m. on Nov. 9 after locating him near Imperial Highway and Lemoli Avenue South. He arrived with no identification and was described as being in severe distress, with significant swelling and bruising to his left eye. Fingerprint checks have not produced a match, and investigators have been unable to confirm his identity.
Hospital officials released a detailed physical description in hopes that someone may recognize him.
The patient is described as a male believed to be between 25 and 35 years old. He appears to be of mixed race and possibly Latino, with a light complexion, green eyes, and light-brown hair. He is approximately 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighs about 128 pounds. No tattoos were observed. He has freckles on his face and nose, a blackened right toenail, and a distinct birthmark on his neck and throat area.
Anyone with information that could help identify the man is urged to contact Harbor-UCLA Medical Center.
