Two people were arrested and a security guard was hospitalized Sunday after he was nearly killed during an altercation that broke out following an excursion on San Diego Bay, authorities said.<\/p>\n
Port of San Diego Harbor Police responded to a fight in progress shortly after midnight as an excursion was disembarking in the 1800 block of North Harbor Drive near City Cruises by Hornblower, Harbor Police said.<\/p>\n
When officers arrived, they found a security guard who was unconscious, not breathing, and didn’t have a pulse as a result of the fight. Harbor Police officers immediately began lifesaving measures and successfully restored the victim’s pulse, authorities said. The unidentified victim was transported by medics to a hospital in critical condition.<\/p>\n
The San Diego Police Department was called in to assist Harbor Police with crowd control and scene security due to the large number of people in the area.<\/p>\n
The investigation led to the identification and arrest of 39-year-old Ernesto Molina Jr. Claudia Mendiola De Franco, 48, was also arrested for alleged assault on Molina Jr., which happened after the security guard was assaulted, Harbor Police said.<\/p>\n
Both suspects were taken into custody on suspicion of felony assault with a deadly weapon or force likely to cause great bodily injury, according to Lt. Shawn Wooddy.<\/p>\n
The investigation was ongoing. Anyone who witnessed the incident, or who may have relevant information, images or video that could assist investigators, was urged to contact Harbor Police at 619-686-6272 or submit an anonymous tip through San Diego County Crime Stoppers at sdcrimestoppers.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Two people were arrested and a security guard was hospitalized Sunday after he was nearly killed during an…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":334851,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5134],"tags":[5229,1582,276,1035,3549,54432,7264,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-334850","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-san-diego","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-ca","10":"tag-california","11":"tag-crime-and-courts","12":"tag-san-diego","13":"tag-san-diego-bay","14":"tag-sandiego","15":"tag-united-states","16":"tag-united-states-of-america","17":"tag-unitedstates","18":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","19":"tag-us","20":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115443058864889789","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/334850","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=334850"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/334850\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/334851"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=334850"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=334850"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=334850"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
