The victim said the suspect then approached her vehicle and told her to move because it was his parking space. The victim asked the student to help her and he proceeded to hit the suspect in the face three times with a closed fist before fleeing. The suspect grabbed the victim by the wrist as she tried to leave the scene. She screamed and struggled to free herself from the suspect, but he would not release her until he saw the officer arrive. Cal State Fullerton Detective Fred Molina says this type of situation is all too common.
People are in a hurry.
They get here late and they want to park closer to their buildings, but you can't just sit there. He was sitting there waiting for an opening and that's against the law. Aside from violating the law, students who choose to squat frustrate other drivers. A lot of times they'll be blocking the lane and you can't get around them. That issue, according to Molina, is the main reason for the regulation against squatting.
