During the initial incident, the suspect, identified as 31-year-old Nicholas Weber, physically assaulted a Filipino family after rear-ending their vehicle, shouting racial slurs and threatening to kill them while in line at a fast drive thru in North Hollywood.
A Sylmar man wanted in connection with an apparently racially-fueled attack in North Hollywood, where a Filipino family was tormented and physically assaulted, was scheduled for arraignment Thursday morning.
The women called 9-1-1 and Nerissa's husband, Gabriel, for help, as they were worried that the man was going to hurt them, or worse. Weber then attempted to open the doors of the women's vehicle, when Gabriel Roque and several other bystanders tried to fight him off. Though he wasn't arrested at the scene, Weber was later arrested on suspicion of battery and assault with serious bodily injury. Initially scheduled for arraignment on June 8, where he failed to appear, prompting the issuing of a warrant for his arrest.
