Businesses were vandalized and at least one San Jose State University alumnus was injured Tuesday night and early Wednesday morning during the Mardi Gras festivities in San Jose, according to the San Jose Police Department. Akili Ramsess, picture editor for the San Jose Mercury News, estimated that Dai Sugano, a 2002 graduate of SJSU’s photojournalism program who now works as a photographer for the Mercury News, was in the vicinity of Santa Clara and Sec- ond streets around 1 a.m. when he encountered a group of partyers tossing newspaper racks. Ramsess said someone tried to grab the camera from Sugano’s neck, and the photographer was subsequently punched. “The guy basically cold-cocked him,” Ramsess said. Ramsess said Sugano suffered a broken nose and is currently recovering at a medical facility. Offi cer Gina Tepoorten, a spokeswoman for the San Jose Police Department, said about 12 to 15 arrests were made, and most of the night’s incidents occurred along Santa Clara Street from Almaden Boulevard to about Fourth Street. The incidents, Tepoorten said, included assaults on offi cers, public drunkenness and having an outstanding warrant in a stolen vehicle. Police on horseback were also assaulted with rocks and bottles, she said.
