Overview
- Three suspects attacked two men outside Augustine at Santana Row on Sunday afternoon, with bystander video showing punching and kicking before the assailants fled.
- The victims, identified in multiple reports as Israeli Americans, told police the attackers used antisemitic slurs after overhearing them speak Hebrew.
- SJPD’s Assaults Unit is investigating the case as a possible hate crime, though police say they have not yet found evidence that satisfies hate‑crime elements and the inquiry remains active.
- Police and emergency crews described the injuries as minor at the scene, while the victims say one briefly lost consciousness and both received hospital treatment and stitches.
- No arrests have been announced as officials and Jewish community groups condemn the violence and urge witnesses to contact SJPD’s assaults unit at 408-277-4161 or 4793@sanjoseca.gov.
