A gruesome attack in the Tower District.
“That was uncalled for, that’s not the way we roll down here,” said Richie’s Pizza owner, Anthony Ortega.
The video, which is blurred to hide the grisly beating, shows the man in a red sweater kicking and stomping an unhoused individual who was asleep in the early morning hours of August 26.
“There’s something wrong with that man. There’s no reason you should be treating another human being like that,” said Ortega.
Fresno Police said the victim was a 47-year-old man. Officers found him bleeding from the back of his head and ear. There was also significant swelling to the back of his head.

The attacker is still on the run. A $2,000 reward is now available to find the man responsible.
City Council Vice President, Mike Karbassi, said this kind of attack is frightening.
“If a person is willing to kick someone like that, who’s defenseless, imagine what they would do to you or me,” said Karbassi.
