An Oakland man said two people in his immediate family have been the victims of separate violent attacks. The latest happened near his home, leaving him feeling like it's time to move on from the city.

Every night after dinner Alan Wang and his wife usually take a walk through their Oakland Hills neighborhood. But on Monday night, Alan Wang said his wife went on their walk alone and that's when the unthinkable happened.

"He brandished what looked like a sword or some type of long stick and he was yelling, 'Hey, I need to ask you a question.' But of course, he wasn't trying to ask questions. He was truly just trying to hit her and he ended up hitting her three or four times," said Wang.
