MODESTO, CA - Jose Nunez was passing out Yes on Prop 8 signs in front of St. Stanislaus church, when a man grabbed 75 of his signs and ran.
"I couldn't believe it, he just bolted," said Nunez.
Yes on Prop 8 opposes same-sex marriage.
Nunez spotted the man tossing the signs over a wall and he approched him.
"He asked what do you have against gay people? I said nothing it's not about that," Nunez adds.
When Nunez tried to take back his signs, the man punched him in the face. The punch sent Nunez to the hospital where he needed stitches.
The suspect then fled.
No on Prop 8 officials quickly issued a statement saying violence during the campaign is disgraceful and cannot be tollerated.
Modesto Police are investigating the assault but have no suspects.
