Pair Sought After Man Knocked Out At Redwood City Gas Station

REDWOOD CITY, CA — Redwood City police are seeking two people who knocked out a man in a fight at a gas station late Thursday night.

Police initially received a call at 11:11 p.m. of an intoxicated man walking in and out of traffic in the area of Whipple Avenue and Veterans Boulevard, then the same person called back to report that the man got in a fight with a couple at a nearby Arco gas station.

Officers responded and found the man unconscious by gas pumps. Two witnesses said a man and woman in a blue Kia Sol got into a fight with the intoxicated man. The male suspect knocked out the man, then the female suspect continued assaulting him while he was on the ground unconscious, according to police.

The couple fled west on Whipple Avenue in their vehicle, which had a Washington state license plate though witnesses did not report the numbers.

The male suspect was described as a Hispanic man in his 20s with short curly hair and wore a black hooded sweatshirt with "Cookies" lettering, while the female suspect was described just as a Hispanic woman in her 20s with light brown shoulder-length hair, police said.

The intoxicated man was taken to Stanford Hospital for head injuries and police on Friday did not release his condition.

Anyone with information about the case is asked to call Redwood City police at (650) 780-7100 or a tip line at (650) 780-7110.
