A security guard at a shopping center in Riverside ended up hospitalized after he was badly beaten when he asked a homeless man to leave, according to police.
The victim's brother said when police arrived, the victim managed to pin down the suspect, despite being severely injured.
"He does have a criminal history, especially over the last five or six years, with a variety of crimes, including assault against police officers," said Railsback. The city of Riverside has outreach programs along with other services for the homeless. Erim reportedly refused the city's help. "There are just people out there that don't want that for a variety of reasons," said Railsback."That could be because of mental illness. That could be just because they prefer the lifestyle of being on the streets."
Meanwhile, the attack on the security guard did not come as a surprise to residents. Jack Logova told Eyewitness News he doesn't let his female relatives come to the laundromat in the area alone.Erim is due in court on Tuesday, April 5, and has another court date the following week on previous charges of theft and assault on a peace officer.
