San Leandro mob attacks prompt ‘wilding’ task force - Crime Scene:
San Leandro police are creating a task force to tackle recent cases of “wilding,” robberies and other attacks said to be committed by large groups of people, including an incident in which a group briefly tried to take a car with a 2-year-old child inside, officials said.
On Monday, a middle school student holding a bag that contained Nike shoes was pistol-whipped and temporarily left unconscious on the 2100 block of East 14th Street, while a second victim was also knocked to the ground and robbed of his iPhone and Nike shoes, said San Leandro police Lt. Rick DeCosta.
About 40 minutes later, a sergeant witnessed the end of an altercation in which a large group of teens had surrounded a car with two adults and a 2-year-old child inside and blocked them from entering a parking lot.
When the victims asked the group to move, they yelled obscenities and told them to “go around.”
