SAN LEANDRO — A Hayward man described as armed and dangerous with ties to white-supremacist and outlaw motorcycle groups is being sought after a violent attack on a woman, authorities said.

Douglass Pruitt, 49, was involved in a kidnapping, robbery, assault, domestic violence and burglary incident Dec. 27 in the Cherryland neighborhood of unincorporated Hayward, Alameda County Sheriff’s Sgt. Ray Kelly said Tuesday.

“He basically kidnapped, robbed and laid in wait for the victim, and assaulted her with a deadly weapon,” Kelly said of the incident.

“The assault required her to be treated at a a hospital. He’s a dangerous person.”

Pruitt, a Hayward resident, is believed to be fleeing law enforcement after a warrant was issued for his arrest, and frequents the cities of Hayward, Castro Valley and Fremont, Kelly said.

Officials released an image Tuesday of his vehicle, a white 1989 Chevrolet Camaro RS with California license plate 2PJL764 with August 2019 registration.
