Elderly man attacked after alleged flashing

San Jose Police are hoping the public can help officers piece together what happened at Fowler Creek Park where a group of people assaulted an older man inside a public restroom.

In the video, you can hear the constant wailing from an elderly man in cell phone video obtained by KTVU. You can also see the repeated blows from a father who alleges the older man showed his private parts to his son.

“Assaulting the alleged suspect of indecent exposure is not okay and that itself is a crime,” said San Jose Police Sgt. Heather Randol.

Police say this attack happened around 8 p.m. on Tuesday in a public restroom at Fowler Creek Park.

By the way, the reporter for this story approached me for a comment on this story, when I was walking near the park earlier today. I declined, so it's not me speaking to the camera in this video. There was another local station whose truck was parked there today; that station's report is here. The park is near my old junior high school; when I saw the giant antenna coming from the park I wondered what local TV was here for. Then I came home and went to the TV station's website and found out why. I guess whenever you see the local TV trucks in your area, something bad happened.

Wait, what?

Maybe not the best turn of phrase there.
