Police in San Jose, California are urging the public to help identify a man who violently assaulted someone at a beloved bakery and caused significant damage to the business. The incident occurred on December 17th and has left customers frustrated that the suspect has not been apprehended.
The bakery, Peters, has been a community staple for almost 90 years, serving as a gathering place for residents who have been loyal customers for decades. On the day of the incident, Clarence Jackson was holding a cake for his daughter's birthday when he was caught up in the chaos.
According to surveillance footage, the suspect entered the bakery trying to sell cleaning wipes but became aggressive when staff declined to buy them. He then destroyed equipment and tackled a customer who tried to record him on her phone before smashing her device. The video of the incident has gone viral, but so far, no leads have been found.
Police are now appealing for the public's help in identifying the suspect, who is believed to be responsible for vandalism and assault. They say that the community's support is crucial in solving crimes like this and are urging anyone with information to come forward.
The bakery has continued to operate despite the incident, serving as a reminder of the importance of community spirit. Customers have expressed relief that police are actively working to solve the case, and some have even praised the business for remaining open during a difficult time.
Peters Bakery's co-owner sent a statement condemning violence in any form, emphasizing the importance of maintaining security and safety within their community. The bakery has also released surveillance footage of the suspect's attack, which has sparked widespread outrage and calls to action from residents who want to see justice served.
As the investigation continues, police are urging anyone with information about the suspect or his whereabouts to come forward. They believe that he may frequent businesses in East San Jose and are asking anyone with knowledge of his activities to contact them immediately.

Just saw the footage of that crazy bakery attack 
- can you believe someone would do this to a community that's been supporting each other for 90 years?! 
Anyway, stats on violent crimes in San Jose are pretty grim... according to the FBI, California had a 10.4% increase in violent crime rates from 2022-2023 
. On the bright side, Peters Bakery is still open for business, which says a lot about the community's resilience 
. As for the suspect, I'm guessing he won't be selling cleaning wipes anytime soon 
- but seriously, what were those cleaning wipes doing in a bakery?! 
Anyway, here's a chart of the most common types of violent crime victims in San Jose (based on 2022 data)... [insert chart with numbers]
.
. The co-owner's statement about condemning violence is really powerful 
.
and get some justice for Peters Bakery's customers. It's times like these that show how important it is for our communities to look out for each other and support local businesses 
And the fact that he smashed up the place and destroyed equipment... it's just, like, so not okay 
. I'm glad that Peters Bakery is still open and serving the community, though - it's a real testament to how important it is to keep moving forward even in the face of crazy stuff 
.
. And can we talk about how the suspect's behavior was just so unacceptable? Smashing up equipment and attacking someone who was just trying to record him? That's some serious red flag territory 
. In the meantime, let's all just take a deep breath and try to stay calm, okay? 
I feel bad for Clarence Jackson who was just trying to celebrate his daughter's birthday, that cake must've been ruined 
they're still open for business and their co-owner sent a statement condemning violence, which is amazing 
Peters Bakery has been a staple for 90 years and now some psycho comes in and destroys it all, I mean what's wrong with people?! The community is still standing strong tho 
they're like a big ol' family and everyone is coming together to support each other. But seriously, the police are doing their best to find this dude but we need more info 
from anyone who might've seen him around, if you were in East San Jose that day and saw someone acting suspiciously DM me or call the cops. We gotta make sure justice is served 
it would be amazing if the whole community comes together to support Peters Bakery during this tough time 
they're doing everything right by staying open and showing everyone that they still care about their customers
