A jogger was assaulted at Santiago Park before 10 a.m. on Sunday morning.

There are two suspects. They were parked in a vehicle at the baseball field located off of Santiago St.

A neighbor described the suspects’ vehicle as a possibly dark green or grey  90s Chevy pickup truck, 2 door extended cab with a bad paint job. 

At least four SAPD police units were at the scene and the OC Sheriff’s Department helicopter was circling overhead looking for the suspects’ vehicle.

There is a chance that a neighbor’s front porch security video camera recorded the assault and/or the suspects and their vehicle. 

The victim appeared to be a mature white male. So far no description of the suspects has been made.
