police in hayward are investigating a heinous crime there. elderly man beaten and left in a park. this all happened on sunday night at the kennedy park near the boulevard, "today in the bay's" kris sanchez joins us live in hayward where police, kris are asking for help to find the person who committed this crime. >> reporter: right, they're trying to help people jog their memories, giving more detail because this is really a shocking crime. elderly man deliberately hit and left there without any stance until his also elderly wife came and found him. here's where it happened around 2:45 on sunday afternoon here at kennedy park. it was near the pavilion picnic area. police say it was there that a group of ten to 20 people were gathered at what may have been a birthday party. hayward says the victim, 70-year-old elderly man entering the area looking for can and other recyclables when a woman approached him and had a conversation with him. it was after that point, that a man also came up to him and

punched hip in the head with enough force that the man fell to the ground, lost consciousness, and has not returned to consciousness since then. police say that to make matters worse, the party there continued, 10 to 20 people continued to have their party while the man needed help. the suspect appears to have gotten away. now, here are the details that hayward police want you to know. the suspect is described as an african american man, about 6'0", weighing somewhere between 180 and 200 pounds. now after punching that elderly man, hayward police say he left in a beige car. that 70-year-old victim remains in the hospital. he has not regained consciousness. so hayward police say they do have one witness, they'd like to have more, they would like to give this man's family peace and find out what precipitated the whole thing. kris sanchez, "today in the bay." >> thank you, kris.

it is 6:02, also new this morning, police have arrested a man they say robbed a store in san mateo and pushed around an employee with a gun. the robbery and arrest happened on wednesday, but police just released information about it. they say 23-year-old ta harry turner walked into a store on gum street in san mateo, pulled out a gun and demanded merchandise. then turner forced an employee into a storage room and stole cell phones from the store. police arrested turner later that day and reportedly found the cell phones in his car. fire crews are still outside in a building, outside a building in san francisco's mission district this morning. more than 12 hours after flames were first spotted there. that fire at the building of the intersection of mission and 23rd street sent black smoke pouring all over the city, and it took crews hours to handle it. now investigators are trying to figure out if it is safe enough to go inside the building and find out what caused that fire.

stephanie chuang joins under the circumstances live from san francisco, and stephanie, we understand firefighters still need to be vigilant this morning, hot spots, are they still a concern? >> reporter: absolutely. good morning, sam. definitely concern that any flare-ups could reignite everything behind me and that's why there are five fire crews on scene. the store had plastics and flammables as merchandise with luggage and plastic bags, clothes, there's a crew in the back, but there's also debris. two crews on the rooftops on either side where you see one set up here to the right, and also, two crews on the ground where they've got nozzles, in fact, overnight they've had to put out a couple of hot spots earlier this morning. took firefighters a couple of hours to get a handle on the five alarm blaze, that started around 1:00 yesterday afternoon with thick smoke pouring through the streets. one of the biggest challenges was keeping the fire from spreading, a brick wall between the buildings did help. now firefighters say people who were around sheltered in place and allowed firefighters to

focus on putting the fire out. >> that is amazing, the time of day did help, the people that wered in were able to get out right away. and we didn't have a concern then of life. it was just the property we were trying to protect. >> reporter: two firefighters and two neighbors went to the hospital after suffering smoke inhalation, but no life threatening injuries reported. chief joanne hayes white says the department doesn't inspect these buildings unless there's a complaint. there were two filed for this building. once in 2009 when the own her to widen an aisleway, and one last year when a citation was given for an issue that was called reasonable life safety. so back here live, you're looking at the second floor, there are two holes there. a lot of the merchandise that ended up on the ground fell from the second floor where items were stored. so, not all the debris you see here was on the first floor. investigators may not be able to

get back inside, engineers will be out here this morning to derp the integrity of this structure. meantime, the streets here between 23rd and 24th on mission will be closed for many hours, only muni allowed through. coming up in a half hour, ma what neighbors had to say about the history of this store. live in san francisco, stephanie chuang, "today in the bay." >> thank you very much, stephanie. it is 5:06, bay area lawmaker is hoping to use money from a landmark fight against pg&e to make sure future disasters like the san bruno explosion do not happen again. the earmark the majority of $1.4 million for pipeline improvements and safety measures. his bill would also prevent p gerks ge from passing the cost related to pipeline modernization on to customers. the bill would create an independent monitor to oversee pg&e and fund the trust for california. 2010 explosion destroyed san

in as well setting up far gorgeous day on saturday. more of the same, 73 degrees for the east shore today. 83 degree for the south bay, we will talk about what's happening this weekend and how the weather will be. some places are going to be just perfect. stick around, that's in my next report, first let's say good morning to mike inouye. good morning, christina. i widened out the shot. see if we can see any other problems from the el charro and the approach, we don't see any problems for lanes. again i is that true weird traffic flow, then a stoppage, then another burst. let's talk about the roadways, through the tri-valley on our maps, and way over here on the right side, we have grantline road, that's where there's reports of a disabled rig. now that might have been enough as it pulled over to the slow lane to cause that little bit of a break that we saw all the way over here. we'll track that, you do see a little build coming out of the pass, again that is blocking your slow lane over at grantline road, that'll be an issue. makes things better perhaps. looking out towards the south bay and the rest of the bay, easy drive. lighter for oakland in the east

you're watching "today in the bay." and welcome back. several grass roots groups are calling on the city of oakland to put a stop to weapons and tactics expo that's being held this week. it's drawing law enforcement agencies from all around the world. urban shield is an annual event in oakland that showcases the latest in law enforcement equipment, including various weapons and surveillance technology. that expo is followed by two days of emergency preparedness drills throughout the bay area. the event comes just weeks after protesters and police clashed in ferguson, missouri. sparking a national outcry about arming police and allowing them to carry military style weapons. just last night, people spoke for or against allowing police in brooklyn to carry -- berkeley to carry tasers. they held a discussion to talk about whether officers should carry the weapon.

data show police with tasers have seen fewer use of force complaints and injuries. but opponents say officers already carry enough weapons. the berkeley city council will talk about giving police tasers at next week's meeting. well small businesses suing yelp didn't just lose in court, they were pummelled, tell us. >> epic loss. some businesses accuse yelp of monkeying with their rate physician they refused to advertise. this is something they've denied over and over. what could be worse than simply losing that case? it would be for the judge to say, you know what, i don't know if yelp did that or not, but ian if it did, it wouldn't matter because that's not illegal. the plaintiffs have not said if they will appeal. another big court case, this one's going to be appeals, companies like apple and google say they're taking that settlement over salaries over jng lucie coe's head to the circuit court of appeals. coe and said google and apple

and others needed to pay a bigger fine after they were caught in a scheme to depress salaries. they admit where they would not poach each other's workers in an attempt to control salaries. the workers pseudo, the company -- sued, the company settled, the judge said that was not near enough. apple subpoena making some changes -- apple is making some changes. they've been under scrutiny after hackers stole photos from the icloud accounts and posted them online. ceo tim cook spoke to the wall street journal, bob redell joins with us that, good morning. >> reporter: these are the first comments that tim cook is making ever since this, these leaks happened over the weekend that resulted in the nude pictures of jennifer lawrence, and other celebrities, models, and actresses to be leaked on to the internet. in this interview with the wall street journal, cook reiterated that hackers did not breach apple's servers, instead these individuals were able to access

those icloud account ts by one of two means, they were able to obtain the account pass words, not clear how thigh figured it out, or obtain the user ids and pass words to a phishing scam. the tech giant will alert you by e-mail or push notification whenever you try to change an account password, log into a new device, or restore device to a prior to this. you didn't receive. the company will also start to enact two factor authentication security, that's when you must use two of the following, pass word, four digit code or long access key. in response to criticism that the company is lax on security can point out that it was a.m. that outfitted the iphone 5 s's with touch ids. >> at least on the iphone itself. on some, they're closing the

ibarn after the ihorse got away. there was one i wanted to ask you about this, cook said we are as outraged if not as outranged than the people's who pictures were stolen. >> so did he as well? >> i think the person who has been actually stolen their pictures probably is the one who should be more outraged. >> fair enough. >> absolutely. thank you much. we're going to learn more about the state of the economy when the jobs in your opinions for august are released. in july, the unemployment rate was 6.2%. up a tenth from the month before. we'll have that shortly after 5:30, back to you. >> what an awesome line. the ihorse out of the ibarn. thank you, scott. >> ieverything these days. 5:16 on your friday morning. we're joined by our meteorologist who teased us and said some areas will be perfect this weekend. do we get to find out who? >> yes, you do. right now.
