PACIFICA — Police arrested a Daly City man Friday who allegedly beat a 25-year-old San Bruno woman with a baseball bat.

Richard Willis, 38, attacked the victim Sunday while she was talking with a group of friends outside a home in the 300 block of Esplanade Avenue in Pacifica, according to police. She was taken to a hospital with major injuries, including a head wound, but later released.

Police issued a warrant for Willis’ arrest and eventually tracked him down about 6:30 a.m. Friday at his job for a food-service business in Burlingame. He was booked into San Mateo County jail on suspicion of attempted homicide, assault with a deadly weapon and terrorist threats.

Willis and the victim’s family were involved in an ongoing dispute, said Pacifica police Capt. Daniel Steidle, who declined to elaborate on the nature of the conflict. He said Willis and the woman were not romantically linked.

Willis remains in jail in lieu of $750,000 bail.
