SAN CARLOS — Authorities have arrested a South San Francisco man in an alleged December assault on another man who intervened in the suspect’s harassment of a woman at a Caltrain station, according to the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office.
The reported attack occurred Dec. 23 at the San Carlos train station. The suspect was seen harassing a woman; when the victim tried to stop it, the suspect inflicted “significant facial injuries” on the good Samaritan, who was later treated at a local hospital.
