Written by AARON CASTREJON CityWatch Editor PASADENA - An assault that occurred on the A Line train June 24 over a dropped cell phone certainly brings the adage “no good deed goes unpunished” to mind.
The incident occurred around 9:21 p.m. on an A Line train at the Memorial Park station. The victim, a 30-year-old man, told deputies a female suspect assaulted him with 15-inch deer antlers after he handed back a dropped cellphone to the sleeping passenger who owned it, according to Kari Mercer, public information officer with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Transit Services Bureau. The man sustained several contusions, a 1-inch laceration to his head, a 1-inch laceration to his left hand and a puncture wound on his right forearm. The suspect armed with deer antlers, a 38-year-old Asian woman, apparently was looking in earnest at the dropped cellphone. The victim worried she was going to steal it, Mercer told SGV CityWatch. “Fearing the female was going to steal the phone, the victim picked up the phone, woke the sleeping passenger and gave it to him. The suspect became irate, pulled deer antlers from her bag, and struck the victim multiple times on his head and arms,” Mercer said in a written statement. The homeless suspect was located, arrested and booked on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon. |
