A man was chased down by bystanders moments after he allegedly molested an 8-year-old girl in a Walmart store in San Leandro, the second such incident in the East Bay in less than two weeks.
The latest incident happened at the Walmart at 1919 Davis St. at about 7 p.m. Friday, when the girl was shopping with her family. Her brother became separated from them, and the girl volunteered to look for him, police said.
Soon afterward, the girl returned to her mother in tears and said a man had grabbed her from behind and had put his hand down her pants, police said.
She pointed him out to her mother, and the mother notified store employees.
The suspect, later identified as Carlyle Villazon, 29, spotted two bystanders, Malcolm Mason and Dino Rinetti, looking at him and began running away, police said. The two men caught up to Villazon near the store's exit and held him until police arrived.
