The following incident was originaaly posted to Nextdoor by one of the victims:
"I rarely post because it is depressing to see the fear and crime in our area. However, this is a safety issue for all.
This morning whilst waking my dog, I called in a dead man on Washington. I stayed until the fire department arrived and proceed on my walk. I was walking on the beach toward the Marina when a woman approached me indicating I needed to turn around and follow her. I did. She said that a man had beaten a woman with a cane and he was following them. He started walking faster toward us. We decided to move to the sand and run up to Speedway. We all started running. He ran up to me and my dog, hit me on the hip, knee and my head, started screaming “I will kill you then rape you”. My dog lunged at him aggressively and he pulled away. At that moment two AMAZING men tackled him, took his cane and we proceeded to run to safety. He followed us on the sand while we were on Speedway.
This was COMPLETELY unprovoked. Not one of us said a thing with this man. I made eye contact only as he hit me in the head.
Long story short. He was apprehended, we made a positive ID filed a report and we all will Prosecute!!
Yes, it was a crazy homeless man having a psychotic break down; however, we need to fight back!! I left the house without my taser and Bear Spray for the first time.. thinking ….. “ohhh I just going to the Marina, I’ll be fine”. Don’t do that!!!
Pay attention to your surroundings….had I not listened to the young lady that advised me to turn around and follow her, I would have been alone with that man on the beach.
I have been here since the 80’s and have seen some crazy things. Never have I been afraid…. I’m terrified at what this state has become. I even made my post private as a result.
Be safe..
This is a picture of him with three positive id’s"
