A 20-year-old Menlo Park man was arrested at the Orinda BART station Friday following a possible robbery of one person and an assault on another resulting in bodily injury.
Police responded to the station at approximately 9:20pm Friday after a report of a fight aboard the train, one person allegedly swinging a small, hooked knife.
When police arrived one victim had left the scene and boarded another train, though officers located another person down with a substantial facial injury on the platform.
Officers following witness direction eventually located a suspect, Toetuu Tameifuna and took him into custody – using force after Tameifuna allegedly resisted attempts to take him into custody.
Tameifuna is currently in custody at Martinez Detention Facility on suspicion of robbery and assault and battery charges. His bail has been set at $130,000.
Public transportation can be a crap shoot
