Tristan Block, 27
"Officials said it started around 8 p.m. on July 22 when Tristan Block, 27, was seen chasing an unleashed Golden Retriever near Ontario and Wells.
A passerby stopped to help Block catch the dog after seeing it run into traffic.
But prosecutor John Kyle said once the dog was back in Block’s hands, the passerby grew concerned that he wasn’t the animal’s owner, and the two began arguing."
"He said the 26-year-old victim came out of a nearby restaurant with a companion to check on the dog, but they didn’t get involved in the argument.
According to news reports, the victim was paralyzed after suffering a spinal injury while playing football several years ago.
Another passerby who was walking her own dog gave Block her dog’s leash so he could use it, but she asked for it back because she was worried Block would use the leash to hurt the dog or a person, Kyle said."
"The situation turned violent when Block punched the man who stopped to help him catch the dog in the face, according to a court transcript of Block’s bail hearing.
Block then threw the dog leash back at the woman who gave it to him.
Finally, without provocation, he pushed the victim in the chest, causing the man’s wheelchair to roll off a curb, Kyle alleged.
He said the victim’s wheelchair tipped backward after falling off the curb, and his head hit the pavement."
"The victim, bleeding from the head and suffering a concussion, left the scene with his companion, who took him to a hospital for treatment, Kyle explained.
Block fled with the Golden Retriever, but the other two witnesses waited for police, he said."
"[His lawyer] called the allegations “troubling” and said his early information was that alcohol may have “skewed [Block’s] judgment.”
Block worked in Google’s HR department until March and plans to relocate to New York City for a consulting job in a couple of weeks."
