After the May attack by a man shouting anti-Asian slurs, the suspect was released. He is now at large after failing to appear in court.
When a man in a Jeep rear-ended Nerissa and Patricia Roque at a McDonald’s drive-through on Victory Boulevard in North Hollywood, the mother and daughter first thought it was a hit-and-run.
The May 13 encounter soon turned violent, captured by Patricia in a series of videos that were provided to The Times on Friday.Now, the Filipino family is speaking out after Nicholas Weber, who was released with a court date, failed to appear for arraignment. A warrant is out for his arrest. By that point, the mother and daughter had called police, and Nerissa’s husband, 62-year-old Gabriel Roque, had arrived from the family’s home.
After a bystander and Nerissa separated the man from Gabriel, another video captures a second assault. In a scene partly captured on video and described by Patricia and Nerissa, the man, with his back against a wall, grabs Nerissa by the throat.Los Angeles recorded the most hate crimes among large U.S. cities last year, posting a 71% jump in the incidents, a study finds.
Weber did not show up for arraignment June 8, Roxas said. A judge issued a warrant for his arrest, and he remains at large.
