A group of Woodland Hills residents rallied behind a young street vendor whose food stand was destroyed by a man with an axe - and they say they're not going to tolerate that type of violence.
The attack happened last week on the corner of Dumetz Road and Canoga Avenue and it was all caught on video, which shows the armed man approaching the fruit stand and start to knock it over.
The vendor, Jonathan Alvarez Marquez, moved about a block away for safety but continued taking video of the incident. The man was armed with an axe and was caught smashing the stand. Residents said they know who the suspect is and that police are familiar with him after they arrested him in March for a similar attack on another street vendor.
"I knew it would happen again," said Leslie Jacobs of Woodland Hills. "In fact, after I saw the first time,put out a three-page manifesto full of hate and violence and threats, and all of this was turned over to police."
