The attack happened at a bus stop at Foothill Boulevard and Spruce Street in Rialto on June 8. Social media posts had initially characterized the attack as racially motivated, but the investigation was not able to determine the motive, according to police.
Family members of the victim, who is Korean, initially told police he was getting on the bus when he was pulled to the ground from behind. His face hit the curb, and he suffered cuts and scrapes, police said. The victim reported seeing the suspect for a brief moment and described him only as a black man.
Tweets that have since been deleted said there were comments that other passengers didn’t want “the Chinese virus” during the attack.
But in a second interview, detectives confirmed he was not on the bus and the suspect never actually said anything to him. Police say the family member who originally posted the misinformation on social media has attempted to set the record straight.
Franklin is a convicted felon and was released from prison in 2018. His bail has been set at $100,000 and is further being held in-custody on a no-bail parole hold."
