person. steve castro never saw it coming. >> opened up this day, tried to get in the car, i was like no. he had no shirt on, so i was grabbing whatever i could. he got out, hit me in the face, i hit him back. >> reporter: the car salesman at elisa motors says the man was determined, but so was he. >> i go give me the keys back, he said no, no. so i hit him one more time. >> reporter: steve says the fight spilled out onto the busy street where the man tried to get into not 1, but 2 other cars stopped in front of them. >> he was trying to get away for sure. >> reporter: steve had no idea the man had allegedly stabbed a bart passenger to death just minutes before and that hayward and bart police were on a manhunt. tonight the interim bart police chief called the killing tragic and rare. >> bart is safe, and we're continuing to reassure them by providing presence in our system. >> reporter: the general

manager released a statement saying they'd increase officers and fare inspectors throughout the system, but our cameras caught this. no one from bart on the platforms with several trains just before 8:00 p.m. steve says he's grateful the customer he was helping was not hurt. >> i'm okay. >> reporter: and because of steve, according to what police told him, a murder suspect is now behind bars. >> he said you did a good job with the suspect. >> reporter: and bart police say their platforms and stations have surveillance cameras. they're reviewing what may have been recorded in the case. maria medina, kpix 5. just in tonight, a call for action from bart director deborah allen. quote, how much more of this will occur before our board takes swift action to secure our entrances and greatly expand or police force. new tonight, 2 people had to be rescued from this

wildfire and also thousands will be left without power. pg&e officials say they'll begin shutting off power to parts of the north bay beginning around 6:00 in the morning. the strong winds are expected in the 10:00 hour. 6 other counties will not be blocked off. pg&e has taken them off the shut off list because weather conditions have quote trended favorably.. our meteorologist say there's only been a slight change in the forecast, so what else goes into this? >> what we're seeing in the santa cruz mountains and east bay is actually relative humidities trending higher, so that has the effect of not only decreasing the fire potential index, it's also increasing the amount of recovery in the dead fuels and

those are the fuels that could ignite and carry the fire. so you have to consider the state of the fuels as well. >> obviously we're glad that there's no power shut off, but it's really not cause for celebration because we live under this continual threat of power outages that disrupt business and government and schools. it's costly. >> reporter: people are relieved, but still not thrilled. in some cases businesses are out of a lot of money, to buy generators. >> it's unacceptable to have the fifth largest economy in the world to go through continual threats of power outages during this time of year. >> reporter: pg&e says weather conditions could change again meaning the shut off plan could change again, so stay tuned. joe vazquez, kpix 5. joe, thanks for the clarification on that from the pg&e meteorologist. here's the red flag warning issued from the national weather service. this has not changed from yesterday's forecast. so you get messages from a

couple of different organizations here. this is the one from the national weather service starting at 4:00 a.m. tomorrow through 7:00 a.m. on thursday. there's a concern for elevated fire weather. not only in the north bay hills, but also in the east bay and south bay hills. but it will be the north bay where you see the most concern. look at the bright colors. coming in for a closer view. you can see the outline of the mountains here showing you where the strongest winds will be. 60 miles per hour gusts by 9:00 a.m. tomorrow morning in the mountains. you'll notice it's a breezy day in santa rosa and sonoma, but not too terribly windy. the focus in the mountains. high definition doppler, there's actually a good cell of rain about to move into the south bay. that's just about to work out over milpitas. i'll get out of the way. we'll put a forecast cone on that. from milpitas to sunnyvale. sunnyvale, it's coming for you. there in about 35 minutes. it's not like it's lightning and thunder, but it moved

term rentals appears based on the logic that if we can prohibit persons that don't live here from throwing parties here, we can avoid horrible tragedies in the future. >> reporter: this is less than 24 hours after 4 of the 5 suspects in the shooting apprehended in massive raids on friday were not formally challenged by the da's office and released from jail. >> ethically we're bound by strict standards that we'll not file charges unless we can prove a case beyond a reasonable doubt, so it's not fair to the public if we don't hold that high standard. >> reporter: this is an urgency ordinance meaning it will only be in place for 45 days. it can be renewed for up to 2 years, but the goal is putting temporary rules in place while the orinda city council decides on more permanent rules about short term rentals in the city. in orinda, andria borba, kpix 5. a san francisco supervisor who led a profanity-laced chant against the police union is facing a recall petition

house's explanation that the reason president trump withheld aid to ukraine because he was worried about corruption, not because he was trying to bribe them to investigate his political rivals. kurt volker testified he should have been the connection between the ukrainian energy company and the president's wish to investigate the bidens. >> i've known former vice president biden for a long time. i know how he respects his duties of higher office, and it's not credible to me. >> reporter: did white house claims democrats' allegations of bribery or a quid pro quo were completely debunked and dismissed the hearings as a charade. >> cbs news will have special live coverage of tomorrow's hearings right here on kpix 5 beginning at 6:00 a.m. we could be hours away from another free speech showdown of shorts at uc
