SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — Surveillance footage captured a man attacking a gas station customer in Kearny Mesa before fleeing.
A 54-year-old man was paying for his coffee at the Mobil station at 8380 Clairemont Mesa Blvd. on Saturday just after 3 p.m., when the suspect began speaking to the man. Police said the suspect was not making any sense when he was speaking to the victim.
Then for no reason, the man pulled a small wooden bat from a tool bag and began to hit the victim on the back of his head. He fled from the business, running southbound on Kearny Mesa Road, police say.
