Police Tuesday sought the public’s help to find a homeless felon charged with felony vandalism, grand theft auto and hit and run.
Tajon Wright Freeman, 30, is suspected of stealing a 2001 Toyota Tundra in the area of Seventh and Figueroa streets on Feb. 20 and as he drove away allegedly ran over a woman crossing the street at the intersection of Seventh and Figueroa streets, police said.
Freeman eventually abandoned the truck a short distance away on Bixel and Ingraham streets.
The female pedestrian was taken to a hospital with severe injuries and is still recovering, police say.
Los Angeles Police Department detectives identified Freeman as the driver through DNA evidence left in the truck and in a felony vandalism case in West Los Angeles.
