'It Is So Sad': Attacks Against Asian Elders Continue in the Bay Area – NBC 7 San Diego
"It is so sad," Chan said. "He got hurt very badly." In fact, Chan was on his way to visit Lin Thursday when he himself was attacked from behind. "This guy, you know, calling me names and stuff, and then hit me in the back," Chan said. Chan managed to get a picture of the man. That picture led to the alleged suspect’s arrest, after Chan was able to point him out to police. Oakland police said Chan’s attacker is in custody and could be charged Friday. "Even though I know I'm hurt, but I have to stand strong for my community," Chan said.
