In oakland, laura anthony, abc 7 news. Two groups that have been on opposite sides of issues like gentrification joined forces today to oppose the policies of president trump. Tech works and selfdescribed anticapitalists staged a rally this morning at king plaza in palo alto. Organizers say the demonstration was meant to promote what they say are the values that drive silicon valley, diversity, inclusion and civil lynn libert. They hope to build a connection between the two groups. Investigators say they are making progress in trying to identify those dirt bikers who beat up a lyft driver last week. This is the shocking video of the attack during rush hour on highway 101 in San Francisco. Were learning this is not the only group of bikers who have caused problems. Abc 7 News Reporter vic lee is live in the castro where why police are having trouble cracking down on these groups. Vic . Reporter well, the chp, which is the lead agency, would say only that the investigation is continuing. But we are learning that investigators believe that some of the suspects live in the Bayview District and that they belong to one of the gangs there. It was a brutal attack captured on cell phone video. 10 for 15 men on dirt bikes and allterrain vehicles zigzagging through evening commute traffic on highway 101 near the cesar chavez exit. The bikers surrounded a lyfk drivers car, broke his windows and when he got out, pummeled him to the ground. Alex quintana is in a hospital bed with broken nose and fractured leg. There are a number of officers throughout our district stations that have had contact with some of these folks on the bikes and so know who some of them are. Reporter the Police Spokesman said dirt bikers have been causing trouble for the past year and a half. Our media partner, hoodline, has been tracking these incidents. This recent Instagram Video shows them performing stunts at an apartment complex. I think theyre a bunch of scum bags. They definitely need to do something because they keep terrorizing this city. Reporter arlen owns a barbber shop. He witnessed a large group doing doughnuts in early december leaving these skid marks on the recently replaced rainbow crosswalks and they did it brazenly, in full view of police. Everybody was watching them do this, including two officers of sfpd sitting at the corner in a car that watched them. Reporter he asked the officers why they didnt go after them. Their reply basically that they could not chase them, that it was against the law. The policy for pursuits limits us to violent crimes, violent felonies in particular. And traffic violations dont fall within the parameters of that pursuit policy. Reporter but the sergeant says if that brutal attack happened on city streets, his officers would be allowed to chase them down. But of course it happened on highway 101 and that is chp jurisdiction. Vic lee, abc 7 news. So, vic, these are obviously difficult investigations made even more difficult because in most of the cases police cant chase and theyre hard to identify given the helmets and the license plates. They dont have license plates in some cases so what is the key to identifying these culprits . Reporter well, as you said, larry, that is the fact that they cant chase them down. Helmets, they have their faces covered. The reason they dont have license plates is because theyre not allowed to drive them on the streets because theyre offroad vehicles, but they are. Now, police, therefore, have to rely on video. Cell phone video, Security Camera video, and of course witness information. All right, vic. Thank you very much. Heres one you dont hear every day, a naked intoxicated man fell down a hollow shaft at a napa restaurant. Rescuers had to break open a wall just to get him out.
