The streets of Fremont were disrupted Wednesday after a sudden burst of violence left one individual hospitalized and led to a police manhunt that shut down local thoroughfares. According to Patch.com, the incident occurred at 11 a.m. at the intersection of Kato Road and Warren Avenue.
Fremont Police Department responded to a report of an assault and, upon arrival, found one person with injuries. The unnamed victim was swiftly transported to a nearby hospital for medical attention. As the investigation unfolded, authorities urged the public to give them space and stay away from the area, a course of action that turned a slice of Fremont into a ghost town for a slice of the afternoon.
The assault led to a quick response by police, who remained on the scene to canvass the area and locate the suspect. Fremont Police later informed via X post that the suspect was apprehended without incident at around 1:00 p.m. With the suspect in custody, the cordoned streets were again opened to the public.
