Truly sickening & horrific video showing a thug walk up from behind a 91-year-old man in Oakland’s Chinatown and shove him to the ground.
The video of the assault went viral and this week Oakland police announced that they arrested 28-year-old Yahya Muslim for the attacks.
The Alameda County District Attorney’s Office said Muslim also has two prior felony assault convictions.
Investigators believe that Muslim is responsible for two other random attacks on elderly residents in Oakland’s Chinatown.
Thanks to defunding of the police, Oakland PD says they are devoting what limited resources it can to the Chinatown neighborhood.
But KRON-TV reports community members formed citizen patrols and a GoFundMe effort has raised more than $50,000 to employ armed security guards.
