Man attacks Target security guard with skateboard in Santa Ana

Police asked the public for help this week in their search for a man who attacked a Target security guard with a skateboard in Santa Ana last month.

The altercation occurred on June 10, when the security guard asked a trespassing suspect to leave the store located at 1441 W. 17th Street, according to the Santa Ana Police Department.

“The suspect struck the victim multiple times with his skateboard, causing injuries, and then fled the store,” the Police Department stated in a post on Instagram.
