A middle-aged man was taken to the hospital Friday after UCPD received a report of a fight in progress at People’s Park.
Officers arrived on the scene at 12:59 p.m. and found the 43-year-old victim lying on the ground. The Berkeley Fire Department then arrived and transported the victim to the emergency room, according to a UCPD crime alert.
According to the alert, the victim told the officers that he had been walking through the park when a male approached him and started harassing him. The suspect was then joined by another female suspect who began yelling at the victim.
The victim was then surrounded by approximately 12 people and attempted to run away but was knocked to the ground, police said. He was allegedly kicked in the head, arms, stomach and groin area, according to the alert. The victim’s wallet was taken while he was on the ground.
Below is the UCPD Crime Alert description of the suspects:

I have a feeling that the white female attacker was that preggo bitch cigarette chain smoker drunkard with dreadlocks, that I used to see around telegraph and people’s park.
It’s time to close this sewage pit down, throw its bums out of town, and send Krissy Worthington and Carol Denny with them…
Time to take a flamethrower to PP. Does NY still celebrate the historical significance of the Five Points by allowing gangs to roam the area? No, and neither should Berkeley hold onto this eyesore.
people’s park is an eyesore and an insult to the students/citizens who live around it.
agreed, whatever it used to stand for has long since departed.
it is time indeed to rid the community of this ludicrous fixture.
Time to pave the park.
Whatever it used to stand for, it doesn’t any more. I’m tired of dragging this anchor around.
Napalm B, it is the best solution to the People’s Park problem.
Tony, M: white but with dreadlocks… go ahead and say it, but don’t pretend on as though you are anything other than an unrepentant racist.
