By Jodi Hernandez Verified|KNTV-TV (San Jose, CA)VerifiedAn unhoused senior was honored Tuesday for intervening in a violent attack on an Oakland Chinatown grocery store worker. The incident happened last Thursday at Oakland Chinatown's Won Kee Grocery store. A surveillance video captured a suspect hitting a worker when asked to check in his bag. That's when 71-year-old Tom Jensen confronted the attacker, scaring him away. Minutes later, the suspect returned and attacked Jensen from behind, knocking him to the ground and hitting him before running away.

The latest robbery happened in Hercules last Friday and police said they believe the armed suspect staked out the bank looking for a suspect. "The victim stated to us that they were leaving Chase Bank and they had [withdrawn] $500 and they carried that envelope out of the bank," said Karla Lazo of the Hercules Police Department.
