“The FBI issued video and photographs taken of the assailant on June 7 and Reyna was identified shortly thereafter,” according to an FBI statement. “When agents attempted to arrest Reyna, he was not located and agents developed information confirming that he fled to Mexico.”
The publicity led to Reyna’s arrest in the Mexican state of Sinaloa.
After agreeing to surrender, Reyna was arrested by FBI agents at the San Ysidro Port of Entry in San Diego County.
Reyna was taken to Los Angeles, where he was due to appear before a U.S. magistrate on Wednesday.
