A 19-year-old restaurant employee in California who stepped in when she saw a man bullying an intellectually disabled person lost her right eye after the suspect punched her in the face, authorities say.
After several weeks of investigation, law enforcement agencies on Monday announced that the alleged culprit, 20-year-old Isaac White-Carter, has been arrested and charged with one count each of mayhem and aggravated assault causing great bodily injury, both of which are felonies.
According to a press release from the Antioch Police Department, officers at approximately 5:25 p.m. on Nov. 12 responded to multiple calls regarding an alleged assault at The Habit Burger Grill located in the 2400 block of Mahogany Way.
Upon arriving at the scene, first responders said they discovered that “an employee was punched in the face multiple times after protecting an individual with an intellectual disability from being bullied.”
“The victim lost her right eye because of the incident,” the affidavit states.
The Antioch PD’s Investigations Bureau spent weeks investigating the assault before they were able to identify White-Carter as the suspected assailant. Detectives with APD’s Special Operations Unit then worked in collaboration with agents from the U.S. Marshal’s Service’s (USMS) Pacific Southwest Regional Fugitive Taskforce to locate White-Carter. He was taken into custody in the 2500 block of Spring Drive in Hayward, California on Monday morning and turned over to APD.
