Police said the victim, a 17-year-old from Mountain View, was riding his bike with a friend in the 2000 block of Latham Street around 8:40 p.m. when an unidentified male emerged from a hidden location and hit him in the head with an object.

The attacker then fled, running toward Rengstorff Avenue, and remains at large.

  1. Sounds gang related or retaliatory. Apparently the guy was lying in wait for this guy.
    If nothing was stolen, the odds of some loony crouching in a bush and just randomly hitting someone over the head is pretty small.

  2. Please don’t bring up the words gangs or day workers. This is obviously about legal gun owners getting out of control. Ban assault rifles!

  3. The city needs to do a lot of work to bring this part of the city up. Too many hoods in the area. I have done more foreclosures in this area I care to count. Its telling.
