DOWNTOWN –
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "The arrest came after witnesses saw a man board a bus following an attack of a Navy enlisted man who was pushed to the ground from behind and repeatedly kicked about the head about 3:15 p.m., Hastings said.
The victim remains hospitalized and has undergone reconstructive surgery.
There have been five other attacks since April 5 in the same area of Third Avenue and C Street. Two other victims also were hospitalized.
All of the attacks happened in the midafternoon on crowded sidewalks, Hastings said. The victims were surprised from behind, pushed to the sidewalk and kicked. Few words were spoken by the attacker beforehand.
Passers-by have been unable to intercede because of the violent nature of the attacks, Hastings said.
All victims have been white males. The suspect is black.
"We are investigating this as a hate crime," Hastings said."

"Trial date set for Lodi men in terror probe"
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "SACRAMENTO (AP) -- An August 23 federal trial is set for a father and son from Lodi accused of lying to investigators about a terrorist training camp.
But the date seems sure to slip as the government invokes national security protections."
