Two Marine veterans playing Pokemon Go in Fullerton, California when they noticed a man approaching women with young children acting strangely. They called police and they arrested an attempted murder suspect on Tuesday.
Seth Ortega and Javier Soch, were playing the game in the park around 10:30 a.m. The screen froze while Such was playing the game — he looked up and took in the scene around him. A man was approaching kids with a plastic red rose and acting strangely, according to ABC7.
“We see the gentleman go approach them again, at this point, me and my roommate start walking across the street and the gentleman actually walks up and touches one of the children, one of the boys, his toe, and starts walking his way up to the knee,” Ortega explained.
“At this point I’m running across the street and a gentleman who was walking down the street does the same thing,” Ortega continued.
Police quickly came to the scene where they discovered the man had an outstanding warrant for attempted murder in Sonoma, California.
