From SFGate:
The man was identified by BART police as 24-year-old Yeiner Garizabalo. Friends said Tuesday he goes by Yeiner Perez and is a dedicated acrobat and performer. The episode, they said, was strongly out of character.
“He’s been through a lot of stress — he seems to have been having a breakdown,” said Slim Chance, who leads the Berkeley circus troupe ClownSnotBombs. Perez was a member from January to early May. “That seems to be the tip of it right there. I just can’t tell you anything more because I don’t really know what his state is. It’s not at all like his normal character.”
Chance said Perez, normally a “workaholic acrobat,” stopped showing up to the group’s practices several days before the episode.
“I don’t think it was anything with drugs,” Chance said. “I don’t know. We’re thinking he may have even had a stroke sometime last year. We’ve been trying to piece it together ourselves.”
Well, this explains all of the gymnastics and aerobics the guy was performing, although it doesn’t really explain the naked part or the violent demeanor. Hopefully this person is able to get the care and help that they clearly need. Judging from his Facebook profile, he seems like a fairly normal guy (for a circus performer).

Whose was it before Mexico’s?
Mexicans have SPANISH CONQUISTADOR blood in ‘em.
Look up “conquistador” for their behavior.
Rape, Murder, Theft
In the name of Catholicism of coarse….

mmmm raciscm in the morning, 1 PM being my morning,goes perfect with my cup of tea and bowl of granola.
Sorry Buster. He looks to have African blood. More likely a descendant of Spanish sugar cane slaves and Conquistadors..
Conquistador or US settler? Huh? Oh what?
nigga, stop trolling right now.
Thats bullshit. Most Mexicans especially the poor and disenfranchised ones are the descendants of the native Americans. Compare the faces of the typical migrant worker with a native american. You will see they are more native than Spaniard
Secondly most native americans in the US are mixed. Do we say they are not native?
Can the reporter delve a bit deeper and find out what actually happened to him after this- was he hospitalized, charged with a crime, or let free…
According to the SFGate report linked above: “Perez was taken to California Pacific Medical Center for a psychiatric evaluation and then was kept by the facility on an emergency psychiatric hold, Allison said. He was later released, though Allison did not know when. BART police have issued a warrant for his arrest on suspicion of misdemeanor battery.”
Yes thanks.. Also he was seen a few weeks later dancing in this video at Carnivale.

I could see Yeiner’s Weiner! Bath salts?
I was thinking bath salts too. If they waited for him to eat somebody that would have confirmed it. It’s amazing how a large group of people can stand around doing nothing while he runs amok and assaulting people.
He was booked for assault with a friendly weapon.
I thought it was ASSault and flattery.
“bare ass me again”, lol
So no sympathy for the woman he knocked around, or the ladies he cornered and flashed? None? Okay, cool then. What a great open-minded community we have here in the Bay Area.
Agreed.
Just realized something – this happened a month ago. Anyone know if he’s been tried? Will he be? Or are we supposed to advocate for reducing stress in the workplace instead?
fuckin’ extreme thinking here buddy. c’mon. who said we dont have sympathy for the lady? shes just not an interesting character in this story.
why does everyone harp on the people that didn’t do anything to this guy? he was naked with his junk flopping around and he could do handstands into a flip. unless you’re trained in some martial art like bjj what could a normal bystander do and be effective without a weapon? the maintenance guy had his hands full and was lucky dude didn’t really go wilding on him cuz who knows what he was capable of doing? he coulda took a bite out of his stomach, or gouged his eyes out, or threw him into the tracks with his superclown strength.
5550 this sick fuck. Get him off the streets!
Meanwhile…. ’8 Car Pittsburg Bay Point Train Now Approaching Platform 2′
He’s not Mexican but COLOMBIAN (SOUTH America)
check his FB
yea, Mexican
the full video of the attack is on the NYTIMES now: http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2013/06/naked-man-san-francisco-bart-subway-video.html
nymag.com is not the NYTimes. See the difference?
oh yeah, woops.
Whoa. Did you just take responsibility for a mistake? Clearly you do not understand how commenting on San Francisco blogs works.
Saw a KRON 4 news report saying ICE was looking into deporting him, then saw this article stating the Chronicle followed up on his whereabouts, and police no longer know where he is. He’s still out there, folks.

Let find him!

I love that the racism stays up, but god forbid we criticize the yuppies.
They can salve their butthurt with a 100 dollar tie from Jack whatisface’s. Just an escalator ride away!
Lets set up a reward and find him!
