where the victim had to pull out a knife to defend himself.
Apparently, the possible suspect has already left the scene.
Hello, what's going on?
- So I live [inaudible].
- OK.
- And three years ago, there was some dude snooping along
my fence. - OK.
- So I was walking down the street here,
and I saw the guy that's all in black snooping along the fence.
And so I stood there on the street, and I watched him.
Then this car right here drove past.
- OK.
- I turned around and, like, a dude got out.
I waved.
I said, hey.
Dude, the guy came and started assaulting me.
Like--
- OK, what do you mean?
- Like, OK, he struck me once in the face.
And he struck me in the throat.
He said, get off my property.
So I backed up, and I went onto the street.
- OK.
- He followed me onto the street.
He struck me in the face, and he struck me in the throat.
And all I did was move away.
And when he came after me again and again,
I pulled out my pocket knife.
And I started screaming for help,
like, at the top of my lungs, help.
- OK, do you need medical or anything?
I don't see any marks or any.
- No.
I don't-- like, my jaw hurts and my throat hurts.
- OK.
- But I'd like to press charges.
- Hello.
- What's going on between you and that guy over there?
- OK.
- So I got out the car, and I walked up to him.
And I was like, what are you doing on my property?
He said, oh, I was watching your--
that guy back there snooping through the buildings,
talking about my dad.
- OK.
- And I said, he owns this property.
Can you step off? 'Cause he-- he was--
we were probably, like, right here.
I asked him to step off, and he stepped towards me.
- OK.
- I stepped back.
I said, hey, you need to leave the property.
He stepped towards me again, and I hit him.
- The next time, I'm just going to shoot the bastard.
- That's probably a bad idea.
- Why wouldn't you just call us and have us deal with it?
- OK.
But you could also just have us be the peacekeepers.
- OK, all righty.
- OK.
- OK, do you think someone can see that sign from the road?
- I don't care if they can see it or not.
Can you see it?
- From here, not really, kind of.
He wants to press charges for battery.
- OK?
So--
- OK, hold on.
So I'm talking to him right now.
I'll talk to you in a second, OK?
You keep interrupting while I'm trying to talk.
Does that make sense?
- Yeah. Me, too.
I gotcha.
OK?
- I-- I gotcha.
So here's the-- here's the deal, OK?
So it's a battery not committed in my presence, OK?
So what happens is it goes to the district attorney's office.
You're both solicited as victims and suspects.
And it's up to the district attorney what
happens from there.
So apparently, they're very protective over their property.
But we are going to trespass them from the property
and collect his statement.
Do you know the old man over there?
- No.
Dude, like, I walk past their house
all the time to the point where their dog Sadie know me.
- OK.
- My concern is-- is this is my neighbor.
- I gotcha.
- And I was just assaulted by people
that I don't recognize at a house
that they don't belong at.
- OK.
- Right?
I can hardly talk.
I'm dizzy.
I think that I need a paramedic.
I need to go to the hospital or something,
because this is [bleep],, you know?
I'm walking down my street, I'm assault.
I can hardly [bleep] speak.
- OK.
Well, I asked you earlier if you wanted medics, and you said no.
- Well, I'm saying I do, because it was, like, 15 seconds
after I just got struck.
- So he lives there, and he's blind.
- That would explain it. 'Cause, like--
- Yes. - I've had this guy--
- That would definitely explain it.
- Same thing, like--
- So he was wandering the property--
- --not the same person.
- --using that line on the ground--
- And so I'm wondering what this guy is doing.
- --to be able to walk around.
- Like, I'm not spooking.
I'm looking out for my neighbor, man.
- No, I gotcha.
So that-- just I'm just letting you know that that's
- You know what?
Just-- just forget the paramedic, dude.
- Are you sure?
- Yeah.
Like, if the guy is blind and his young son is thinking
I'm spooking his property, let's be the bigger man
and say [bleep] it.
Like, I did not know that the guy was blind.
- OK.
- Like, straight up, like, I'm looking out for my neighbor.
- No, I-- I 100% get it.
But just so you know, he is blind.
His son came and was like, hey, what's this guy doing here--
- Staring at my blind father? - Yeah.
So--
- And then he probably can't hear anything I'm saying,
because the wind is blowing.
- 'Cause it's windy.
He's declining charges at this time it sounds like.
But either way, what's going to happen
is it's going to go to the district attorney's office.
And it's up to them if charges will be filed.
He was officially trespassed from that property.
So if he does go back on the property,
he could be subject to a misdemeanor arrest.
