Community members are calling for action after a security guard was brutally attacked trying to protect an Oakland neighborhood.
Some suspect the people responsible are part of a larger crime spree in the neighborhood.
“They jumped on me like a wounded lion, they were with fury and anger. They started beating me left and right,” said the victim Alex Igbineweka.
That brutal beating left him in and out of consciousness, with two broken wrists.
“My independence is completely eroded by some silly folks who have no hope for themselves. It creates a lot of emotions, pain,” said Igbineweka.
The 72-year-old unarmed private security guard was patrolling Oakland’s Oakmore neighborhood
