Palo Alto police arrested a man on Sunday afternoon at the downtown transit center after two separate incidents where he approached strangers and committed crimes against them. One of the victims sustained a minor injury. The suspect was cited for multiple charges, including a hate crime.
At about 2 in the afternoon on Sunday, September 8th, our 24-hour dispatch center received a call from a passerby reporting two men fighting at the Palo Alto Transit Center at 95 University Avenue. Police arrived on scene about one minute later and located the two involved men nearby. The investigation revealed that a Hispanic man in his twenties had been seated on a bench on the bus platform when he heard another man yelling derogatory things about people from Mexico.
The suspect challenged the victim to fight and punched the victim in the face again. The victim responded by dropping the knife and punching the suspect in the face. The suspect punched the victim in the face a third time, and the two fell to the ground before the victim was able to get away. The victim sustained a minor injury to his face but declined medical attention on scene.
