A woman with a patrol team consisting of volunteers saw the incident and managed to memorize the suspect’s license plate.
Meanwhile, a 68-year-old man was attacked earlier that week in Oakland. Hua Zhen Lin was riding an AC Transit bus on April 26 when another passenger hit him in the head with a cane.
