A 25-year-old was arrested after he was accused of randomly attacking two men, California police said.
A man walking down the street on May 4 was punched in the stomach by a man later identified as Nicholas Hosteter, according to a Facebook post by the City of Campbell Police Department.
The attacker fled the area, but the victim followed him, officers said.
The victim was able to take a picture of Hosteter, who “seemed to pause for the photo before continuing to flee,” police said.
On May 24, Campbell officers received a report of a 75-year-old man punched in the face while out on a walk, according to a Facebook post.
When the man and his family returned to the area to look for surveillance cameras, Hosteter tried to “fight the family before leaving,” police said.
On May 25, with the help of his parents, Hosteter was arrested and booked into the Santa Clara County Jail on two counts of elder abuse and one count of battery on an officer when he was accused of kicking an officer during his booking, police said.
Campbell is about a 50-mile drive southeast of San Francisco.
