BERKELEY (CBS SF) — Berkeley police Thursday said they have arrested an Oakland man in a hammer attack that occurred during a series of protests in December.
The alleged assault occurred on Dec. 7, 2014, when the victim, a 55-year-old man, attempted to stop some protesters from damaging a Radio Shack store at Shattuck Avenue and Dwight Way, according to police.
One of the people on the scene struck the victim with a hammer on the head, causing serious injuries. The victim was taken to a local hospital for treatment, police said.

Police estimate damage to the Radio Shack store at $6,000, with a loss of $8,000 in merchandise.
The December protests were part of a series of such events around the country in response to the police shooting death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri and the death of Eric Garner in New York from an officer’s chokehold.

Who needs a gun when the local hardware store has all tools for the job.
The fact is in the background. There are pictures of the victim's shirt on this thread:

The writing on the shirt reads, in part, "COPS: STOP KILLING BLACK MEN."
