Conductor
A northern California man was arrested after witnesses say he hit an Amtrak conductor in the head with a wine bottle during a fight aboard a Capitol Corridor train Saturday night, according to Suisun City police.
Gregory Valencia, 39, of Concord faced several possible charges including felony assault for the confrontation that happened aboard Amtrak Capitol train No. 749 from Sacramento to Berkeley last night, Suisun City police Sgt. Andrew White said.
Witnesses on the train reported Valencia and a visibly intoxicated friend boarded the train in Sacramento for the 7:10 p.m. departure. Valencia's friend was denied alcohol in the train's cafe car, so Valencia allegedly bought alcohol himself and gave it to his friend.
When the train conductor confronted the men about the purchase, Valencia grabbed a wine bottle and hit him in the head. Valencia was arrested by Suisun City police after trying to get off the train at the Suisun Amtrak station, White said.
The conductor was taken off the train at Suisun City and received stitches to his head at an area hospital before being released.
