   Bee Staff

   A blind woman waiting for a bus was beaten and her purse stolen, but a
   suspect   was   arrested  shortly  after  the  assault,  according  to
   Sacramento police.

   The  victim  was  knocked unconscious in the attack at about 5:10 p.m.
   Friday in the 2500 block of Franklin Boulevard, police said.

   The  50-year-old  blind victim was sitting at the bus stop waiting for
   the  bus  when a suspect came up from behind her and struck her in the
   head with a large log, police said.

   A  passer-by  witnessed  the  attack  and  followed  the suspect as he
   continued east on Second Avenue, police said.

   The  witness  led  officers  to  the  suspect.  Joseph  Webb,  39, was
   arrested.
