OAKLAND \u2014 A 77-year-old Lyft driver was beaten so badly he suffered short-term memory loss in a carjacking earlier this month, authorities said.<\/p>\n
The victim suffered a bloody head injury when a yet-to-be identified woman attacked him on the 1100 block of Clay Street, in downtown Oakland, stealing his 2021 Toyota Prius in the process. The incident occurred around 6 p.m. on Oct. 1, authorities said.<\/p>\n
The car was later found abandoned on Henry Street, authorities said. The man was hospitalized for his injuries, and he reportedly told police he couldn\u2019t remember the incident.<\/p>\n
