Police: Man hit in face with beer bottle after inappropriately touching a child in King City
KING CITY, Calif. (KION-TV)-- King City Police said they responded to the 100 block of Bassett Street Sunday morning after a man was hit in the face with a bottle on the same night he tried forcing an 11-year-old girl to dance with him.
Police said they arrived to interview Marvin Hernandez-Jimenez who said he had a head injury after being hit with a bottle the night before.
Hernandez-Jimenez tried to force an 11-year-old girl to dance with him at a party on the 100 block of Bassett Street, according to police.
When she declined his invitation multiple times, Hernandez-Jimenez grabbed the victim by the arm and clothing, including her bra, and tried forcing her to dance, King City Police said.
Police added that people at the party separated the two and Hernandez-Jimenez sat down next to a man that he proceeded to harass. Hernandez-Jimenez elbowed the man sitting next to him after being asked to leave the party and stop.
That's when the man decided to hit Hernandez-Jimenez with his beer bottle in the face above the left eye, police said.
Police stated Hernandez-Jimenez was arrested and booked into Monterey County Jail for annoying/molesting a child under 18. An emergency protective order was also ordered so Hernandez-Jimenez can't have any future contact with the child victim.
The man who assaulted Hernandez-Jimenez later turned himself in to police and was arrested and charged with assault with a deadly weapon other than a firearm, according to authorities.
