The incident occurred last summer on July 15 around 1 pm near Stockton and Pacific streets. The victim, 57-year-old Walter Wong, was on the crosswalk waiting for the light to change when three men assaulted him and stole his watch.

Police said Walter Wong was lifted off the ground and thrown to the ground.

“A couple of fellows behind me lifted me up and threw me to the ground,” Wong told KTVU. “At that time I was unconscious.”

A 67-year-old friend of Wong saw the incident and ran to his friend to help. However, he was punched in the face by one of the men and knocked to the ground.

When Wong regained consciousness, he was surrounded by the police. He was taken to the hospital with bruises to the back of his head and a fractured cheekbone. His friend was also hospitalized with a head injury.

On October 22, 2019, police arrested their first suspect, Dashawn Pierson.
