ideo captured an assailant’s random attack on a woman at a Los Angeles-area metro station, with him beating, punching and stomping on her before nearly tossing her into freeway traffic.

Spine-chilling footage of the Aug. 7 attack in Pasadena shows the victim repeatedly getting dragged into the carpool lane of the busy 210 freeway as cars fly by, coming within inches of running her over as she tries to fight off the attacker.

The newly released footage, obtained by KTLA, shows the attacker punching and kicking the woman on the side of the freeway just before 5:30 a.m. and repeatedly turning around to shove her back to the ground — at one point even picking her up and tossing her mere inches from oncoming speeding traffic.
