San Jose – A midday brawl outside a bustling Santana Row restaurant left two elderly Jewish men bloodied and bruised, with police uncovering a torrent of antisemitic abuse in their investigation. The assault occurred on March 8, 2026, as the victims waited for a table at Augustine, a popular spot known for its upscale dining. Authorities quickly classified the incident as a hate crime internally, yet the Santa Clara County District Attorney’s office declined to add such enhancements to the felony assault charges against the three suspects.[1]
A Sudden and Savage Outburst
The victims spoke Hebrew while standing in line, drawing the ire of three passersby who exploded into violence without warning. Bystander video captured the chaos: punches landed repeatedly, elbows flew, and one attacker even grabbed a victim’s legs to expose him for more blows as he lay on the ground. The ferocity shocked onlookers in the heart of San Jose’s vibrant shopping district.[1]
Witnesses heard explicit slurs amid the melee, including shouts of “F – Jews” and “F – ing Jews” from one of the assailants. As the group fled the scene around 3:38 p.m., another yelled “Don’t f – with Iran,” according to reports. The rapid escalation turned a routine outing into a nightmare for the two men, who required medical attention for their injuries.
