84 Year Old Man Is Assaulted For No Reason While Working In His Yard In San Franshithole, Says It's The Second Time

DALY CITY (KPIX) — Police in Daly City are investigating an unprovoked attack on an 84-year-old grandfather outside his house that was caught by surveillance cameras.

On Friday evening just before 6 p.m., Salomon Hernandez had just finished mowing his front lawn at his house on Higate Drive. As he tried to empty the grass, a man ran up from behind, jumped and kicked the grandfather in the back.
The force knocked him down against a wall.

“I see a little bit of the guy when I turned around. [He ran] away,” said Hernandez.

The surveillance footage showed Hernandez couldn’t get up and stayed on a ground for several minutes. His wife eventually heard him and came over to help him up.

“A lot of pain, lots of pain,” said Hernandez.

He said shock and confusion turned to anger.

“This is the second time it happened to me,” he said.

Hernandez said the last attack was in September of 2021, about six months ago. Someone also kicked him from behind while he was working on the yard. That incident led to his kids setting up the surveillance camera.
