A 55-year-old transient man was arrested in Mountain View over the weekend after he allegedly punched an officer in the face at a Chevy’s.
Officers were called to the restaurant at 2116 W. El Camino Real on Saturday, Aug. 10, at 1:18 p.m. following reports of an aggressive panhandler. When officers attempted to search the man, identified as Salvador Hernandez, he turned around and punched one of the officers in the face, according to police spokeswoman Shino Tanaka.
The officer was not injured, but Hernandez did receive minor injuries to his hand, Tanaka said. He was transported to a local hospital, then booked into Santa Clara County Main Jail on charges of assaulting a police officer.
I hope he does some time in jail for hitting the police officer but first he should probably be looked at for mental problems.
