A roadside street vendor selling barbecue meat outside a San Jose auto parts store was threatened and attacked by the store owner who brandished a baseball bat during the confrontation.
SAN JOSE -- In San Jose, there were two separate attacks on street vendors in two days. The latest came on Saturday morning. The incident was captured on video and it has been widely seen -- and condemned -- on social media.
Sanchez had been manning his barbecue grill on the road outside of Intex Auto Parts when the owner of the business, identified as Kenny Ho, decided to take what he considered an illegal matter into his own hands. After the encounter, Sanchez called police. They arrested Ho on charges of attack with a deadly weapon and attempted carjacking.
When it comes to support, he was getting plenty from the community, as customers and community activists showed up at the site. But Intex has been taking a beating, with negative comments on the company's Facebook page, alleging that the attack was racially motivated.
