More:After brutal attack on a Sikh man, police chief is 'disgusted' to learn his son is one of the suspects
(CNN)At a community event Tuesday night, Union City Police Chief Darryl McAllister talked with members of the Sikh community about how his department could work to prevent Union City from becoming the next California community rocked by an attack on a Sikh man.
A few hours later, he was shocked to learn that his own 18-year-old son was a suspect in one of the recent assaults.
"I am completely disgusted in sharing with you that, later yesterday evening, I received a call from the Manteca PD that the suspect in this horrific crime turns out to (be) my 18-year-old son," McAllister wrote in a note on the police department's Facebook page on Wednesday. He said his son has been estranged from the family for several months.
McAllister's son, Tyrone McAllister, has been charged with attacking Sahib Singh Natt on Monday morning.
Footage of the attack, released by the Manteca Police Department on Tuesday, shows the 71-year-old Natt being beaten by two people and spit on in broad daylight.
"Words can barely describe how embarrassed, dejected, and hurt my wife, daughters, and I feel right now," he continued. "Violence and hatred is not what we have taught our children; intolerance for others is not even in our vocabulary, let alone our values. Crime has never been an element of our household, our values, nor the character to which we hold ourselves."
