A legislative aide to Supervisor Aaron Peskin was the subject of a citizen’s arrest for battery, after she allegedly pushed a man outside a shop in Chinatown.

The incident happened shortly after midnight on Aug. 16, when legislative aide Sunny Angulo confronted a man who had parked his minivan in front of a cell-phone repair store at 1142 Grant Ave.

The man, Robert Kinann, was in the back seat of the idling van with his infant child while he waited for his wife to get off work at the camera shop. According to a police report, Angulo pounded on the hood of the vehicle, prompting Kinann to get out and confront her. As the argument escalated, a “slightly intoxicated” Angulo shoved Kinann with both hands, according to the report obtained by The Chronicle.

Angulo later told police that she had knocked on Kinann’s hood because she believed he was violating a city traffic law that prohibits commercial vehicles from idling for more than five minutes — Kinann’s minivan has two Uber stickers on the windshield, and Kinann told police he occasionally drives for Uber.

He said, however, that he was not actively picking up fares at the time of his confrontation with Angulo.

Footage from Kinann’s dashboard camera showed him and Angulo arguing and getting close to one another, then exiting the frame. Angulo denies pushing Kinann.

At the time of the incident Angulo was contemplating a run for supervisor of District Six, which includes SoMa, the Tenderloin, Rincon Hill and Mission Bay. She later bowed out of the race.

Angulo attended a court hearing on Oct. 31, but Kinann didn’t show up, and the charges were dropped. Kinann didn’t return a call seeking comment Monday.

The incident report was sent anonymously to The Chronicle on Friday, days after a contentious vote in which six supervisors — including Peskin — appointed Mark Farrell interim mayor, unseating acting mayor London Breed. Peskin was said to be a key player in orchestrating the vote.

“Here are the facts,” Angulo said. “A partial police report was sent anonymously to press for an incident where the police took no action, no charges were filed and the Uber driver in question never even showed up to a hearing to back up his allegations. It is very obvious that someone would really like to blow this incident out of proportion and score some political points without getting their hands dirty.”
