POMONA, Calif. -- A machete-wielding man chased a teenager through a Southern California laundromat on Saturday after seeing the teen wearing a 49ers jersey, according to the boy's father. The confrontation unfolded inside the Super Wash N Dry in Pomona, where video shows the suspect entering the business holding a large machete. The footage captures the teen running through the laundromat as the man follows him.

Detective Inspector Jonathan Summers, who heads the Met's Central South Gangs Unit, said: "This was a heinous, premeditated attack motivated by intergang rivalry. We will always seek to prosecute such matters even when a victim is unable for whatever reason to support a prosecution."
