Police arrested a San Francisco woman suspected of hanging her tail on a horse and driving away the young rider in a wild encounter that turned into viral video.
On Monday, Daily City Police announced that 29-year-old Tomasa Panjojöjleon had been arrested on suspicion of felony child danger in a tail-retarded incident that left a juvenile injured. The charges will be punished in prison for up to six years under state law.
The unexpected runpass took place on February 23rd at the Thornton Beach Recreation Area, where the boy was riding a horse from the Ocean View Stable.
“Officers learned that during riding lessons, an unknown female subject approached the horse from behind and tailed it before the boy’s rider fell off the horse,” Daly City Police said in a statement. “The unexpected behavior surprised the horse and the boy was abandoned.”
The perpetrator fled before police arrived, but was later identified as Panjojöjleon, who was arrested Saturday and booked at the San Mateo County Main Jail in Redwood, police said.
The family said on social media that the fall caused the boy to have bruised and limp throughout his body, but fortunately he didn’t suffer from a concussion because he was wearing a helmet. He injured his right ankle and was advised by doctors to avoid walking for a week, the family said.
“My aunt will take care of him and take him to an appointment for his doctor’s check-up next week,” she wrote Sunday. “I would like to thank you once more for your prayers and support for my cousin. This has been a really tough week for us. But we will continue to fight for justice!!!”
Caroline Reid, barn manager at Ocean View Stubless, told local news station Cron 4 that the incident occurred during a regular meadow pony ride and that a horse named Zeus was also injured, but did not specify what the injury was.
“We take the kids on a 10-15 minute ride and get them used to horses and comfort,” Reid told the station. “It was a very strange situation. You wouldn’t think anyone would get up to the horse and pull its tail. That’s not normal for someone to do it around such an animal.”
Anyone with more information about Tail Yanking will be asked to contact the investigation department of the Daly Police Station at (650) 991-8270.
