The victim in last week’s assault at a VTA light rail station is now talking about the terrifying ordeal. The man is still recovering from his injuries at a San Jose hospital.Christian Chenoweth says he has no idea why the suspect attacked him. He says he feels traumatized, and now he just hopes to heal and get his life back on track."I had my headphones on, so I didn’t hear him come up behind me. He knocked me to the ground.

I don’t know how I’m going to get out of this one," said Chenoweth. Ashley Kahoush says Chenoweth is a friend who was staying with her when the attack happened."He didn’t come home the night of the 29th and that’s not like Christian. Christian usually comes back. He doesn’t stay out all night long. He’s a homebody," said Kahoush. Kahoush says the next morning, she started calling hospitals and found her friend.
