DALLAS — A homeless man was arrested by Dallas police Friday morning after reportedly attacking a woman downtown and giving her a bloody nose, police say.
Police were called after a witness saw the victim walking into the Adolphus Hotel with a bloody face, the document says.
Officers found the victim holding a rag to her bloody nose, and she told them she was at the southwest corner of North Akard Street and Pacific Avenue waiting to cross the street when a man walked up behind her and hit her in the face, knocking her down, a probable cause affidavit stated. The victim’s husband said she was knocked completely unconscious. She then walked back to the Adolphus Hotel for help.
Police were able to acquire video of the assault from nearby security cameras and put out a description of the suspect, the report detailed. About an hour later, a suspect matching the description was found and arrested.
While in jail, the suspect, 29-year-old Kevin Simmons, reportedly told police God had told him to hit the women, the affidavit stated.
Records show Simmons is currently being held at the Dallas County Jail. No bail has been set at this time.
