UNION CITY — A 60-year-old ice cream vendor who was delivering sweet treats to the Decoto neighborhood was crushed up Wednesday by a group of teenagers who might have vandalized his truck the day before, police said.
Although the man was not gravely hurt, authorities said Thursday they are searching for those involved, Lt. Jim Bizieff said.
The incident happened about 2:40 p.m. when the man and his daughter were driving their truck near Sixth and C streets, Bizieff said.
As they dispersed through the area, the man spotted a group of 10 to 17 middle school-aged boys who had thrown rocks at his truck on Tuesday and broke a mirror, Bizieff said.
The driver got out of his truck Wednesday and tried to arrest the group of youngsters, threatening to call the police, the lieutenant said. The youths then charged the driver and pummeled him, leaving him with bumps and bruises previous to they ran away.
Anyone with information may call police at (510) 471-1365.
