MODESTO, Calif. — The Modesto Police Department arrested five suspects who were allegedly seen in new surveillance video assaulting a man, just days after assaulting and robbing two others, officials said.
Three of the five suspects were identified as Soben Nun, a 22-year-old from Modesto, and Stockton's Matthew Phommasinh, 22, and Chan Visna That, 25. Two of the others arrested were teenagers.
The video shows four people surrounding a car at an AM/PM gas station on 5th and I streets early Thursday morning. While the victim was sitting in his car talking to one of the suspects, another person punches the victim in the face, the video appears to show.
Two of the suspects pulled the man out of his car, then later drove away in blue SUV. The victim was hospitalized for major injuries.
