(KRON) — A security guard was arrested Wednesday after allegedly running down a child on a bike with a private security vehicle at San Rafael’s Northgate Mall, according to police.
The San Rafael Police Department responded around 4:30 p.m. after receiving multiple 911 calls reporting that a juvenile was run over in the Northgate Mall’s parking lot by a security vehicle. Witnesses told police that the security guard, later identified as Melvin Anthony Kennedy, 66, of Oakland, had been yelling at kids on the bottom floor of the parking structure and then began to chase them in a security vehicle before the collision, SRPD said.
Kennedy fled from the crash after briefly stopping, according to police.
