Two suspects from San Francisco were arrested Saturday after fleeing the scene of a sideshow near Woodside High School in unincorporated Redwood City, according to a San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office press release.
The sideshow at the intersection of Woodside Road and Alameda de las Pulgas garnered hundreds of spectators, who were reported throwing items at passing cars, the sheriff’s office wrote.
“Not only are sideshows illegal, but they are extremely dangerous for all involved,” according to the press release. “The San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office has a zero-tolerance policy related to sideshows and is actively working to identify others who were involved in Saturday’s sideshow.”
Police were dispatched to the scene around 3:30 p.m. when multiple cars and people fled. Police pursued two individuals on foot and caught up to them at the ARCO gas station on Woodside Road and Santa Clara Avenue.
One individual entered the car of a person pumping gas, but police quickly arrested the 22-year-old and 23-year-old suspects.
The San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office is working to identify people involved in Saturday’s sideshow and asks that anyone with information contact Sgt. Doug Richardson at drichardson@smcgov.org or 650-363-4911.
It is Embarcadero Media Foundation’s policy to withhold the names of those arrested for most crimes until the District Attorney’s Office has determined that there is sufficient evidence to file charges in the case.
