Two California men have been arrested after allegedly attacking another man in a GameStop store while waiting in line to buy Pokemon cards. The Colma Police Department reported the violent incident, which occurred on Saturday morning, resulted in life-threatening injuries for the victim.
The Altercation and Arrests
Isaiah Calles, 27, and Miguel Orellanas Flores, 49, were arrested on charges related to the brutal attack at a GameStop in Colma. According to the police, officers responded to the store at 9:22 a.m. after reports of a physical altercation.
Upon arrival, they found the victim with serious injuries, including “lacerations to the head and multiple stab wounds.”
Witnesses reported that the fight began when Flores allegedly tried to cut in line. This led to a verbal argument between him and the unnamed victim. As tensions escalated, Flores grabbed a mason jar and smashed it over the victim’s head. Calles then reportedly used the broken glass shards to stab the victim multiple times.
Suspects Flee the Scene
After the attack, witnesses said that both Flores and Calles left the scene in separate cars. Police later tracked both vehicles using photos of the license plates taken by witnesses. They managed to apprehend the suspects and took them into custody.
Victim’s Condition and Charges
The victim was transported to the hospital and is currently in stable condition after suffering from the violent assault. Flores and Calles have been charged with conspiracy to commit a crime, battery with serious bodily injury, assault with a deadly weapon, and assault with force likely to cause great bodily injury.
Both men also face a special allegation related to the great bodily injury caused during the attack.
The suspects are being held on $250,000 bond at the Maguire Correctional Facility. Calles is scheduled for a court appearance on Tuesday.
This shocking incident, which occurred while men were waiting to buy Pokemon cards, has raised eyebrows over the extreme violence in what is supposed to be a casual shopping experience. Flores and Calles now face serious legal consequences, and the victim is recovering from the traumatic ordeal.
