Hemet, CA– On August 22, 2012, at 2:45 AM, deputies from the Hemet Station responded to an assault at the intersection of Cornell Street and East Johnston Avenue, in East Hemet. The victim, a female cab driver in her sixties, was found at the scene with severe head injuries. The victim reportedly picked up three adult male fares from a convenience store at the intersection of Florida Avenue and N. Inez Street in the city of Hemet. At the request of the fares, she drove to East Hemet and stopped at the intersection of Cornell Street and East Johnston Avenue. The three males then proceeded to rob the victim while assaulting her with a collapsible, two-wheel, metal scooter. All three suspects fled on foot, leaving the victim behind with severe injuries. She was transported to a local hospital and admitted to an Intensive Care Unit following surgery.
