Redwood City police said today that they’ve arrested two 13-year-olds for throwing firecrackers into the crowd and making anti-gay slurs at a Pride Event on Wednesday at Courthouse Square that injured one person.
Police said that at 5:55 p.m. Wednesday, they got a report that “individuals had thrown suspected fireworks into the crowd while shouting discriminatory and homophobic remarks.”
The perpetrators fled before police arrived.
Police said one person sustained minor injuries.
A portion of the attack was captured on video surveillance, police said.
Later that evening, one suspect — a 13-year-old boy — was located and taken into custody, police said. On Thursday, police arrested a second suspect, also a 13-year-old boy. Both juveniles were taken to the San Mateo County Youth Services Center.
