San Diego County authorities are investigating two attacks on street vendors on back-to-back nights.
“He seemed like a nice guy," Steve said about the vendor."He would come rolling by during the afternoon when I would typically walk. It's very disconcerting that in this area he would be mugged."
Ruelas said he needed seven staples to close two head wounds. It will be at least two weeks until his wrist injury heals enough to go back to work. That means no money coming in for Ruelas, who has a wife and daughter to support. "It’s so bad that people take advantage of people like me, who make a living this way. They see us as vulnerable individuals, honestly," he said.
One suspect in Ruelas' attack is described as having a thin build and blonde goatee. The other is described as a heavy-set man who wore a ski mask.The night after Ruelas was attacked, a vendor was robbed at knifepoint while selling tamales outside the Walmart Neighborhood Market on Imperial Avenue, according to the San Diego Police Department. The thief also ran away with the vendor's cash.
This man was described as a bald man, about 40-years-old, roughly 6 feet tall with a medium build and weighing about 200 lbs.While the crimes are similar, police have not linked the attacks.
