Felony Battery, Malicious Mischief Vandalism to Vehicle, Resisting Arrest

Sunday, 01/09/05, 6:08 AM, Fell and Divisadero Streets. A man assaulted the Arco gas station attendant pinning him against a car and striking and kicking the victim's head approximately 15 times. The motive for the assault appears to have arisen from a verbal argument over the attendant not selling the man cigarettes and matches which the station does not sell. The police were called and the assailant fled on foot. During his flight this man was observed kicking cars and smashing car windows with a hard object. On arrival the police initiated an immediate search which resulted in locating this violent criminal at Steiner and Hayes. The man was now armed with a metal rod. As one officer approached the man ran away and a foot chase ensued which lasted several blocks before he ran into a backyard area where the police found him hiding. The man was placed under arrest after resisting violently.
