On Wednesday, June 4, 2025, the City of Redwood City’s Parks, Recreation, and Community Services Department hosted the annual Pride Event at Courthouse Square in Downtown Redwood City. At approximately 5:55 PM, Redwood City Police Officers were dispatched to the square following reports that individuals had thrown suspected fireworks into the crowd while shouting discriminatory and homophobic remarks. The suspects fled the area prior to officers’ arrival.
Two adult victims were identified and one sustained minor injuries as a result of the incident. A portion of the attack was captured on video surveillance.
Later that evening, one suspect—a 13-year-old male—was located and taken into custody. On the evening of June 5, 2025, investigators identified and arrested a second suspect, also a 13-year-old male. Both juveniles were released to the custody of the San Mateo County Youth Services Center.
