Injured patient's identity a mystery after 1 week in Los Angeles hospital
Health officials asked the public for help Thursday in identifying a man who's been hospitalized for a week after being found with a facial injury in the Lincoln Heights neighborhood of Los Angeles.
The patient was brought to Los Angeles General Medical Center on March 19 but staff members have been unable to locate any friends or family that can identify him.
The man believed to be in his early to late 60s was found in the 2300 block of Pasadena Avenue with apparent facial trauma.
He was described as possibly Hispanic with a small cross tattoo on his left forearm and a small star tattoo on his left bicep.
The patient is 5 feet 5 inches tall and weighs about 120 pounds with salt and pepper-colored curly hair and dark brown eyes.
Anyone with information was asked to contact Clinical Social Worker Jonathan Evanculla at 323-409-3859 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday. Calls can also be directed to the L.A. General Medical Center Department of Social Work at 323-409-5253.
