Elderly Brutally Assault On San Francisco Streets
On Tuesday, San Francisco police released a video showing a man brutally assaulting a 78-year-old. The black hooded sweatshirt crossed Natoma Street in the SoMa District and, without warning, struck the victim who was walking with a cane on the ground. The incident occurred just after 7:30 a.m. on January 8, police said.
The suspect escaped on foot and an employee from a nearby business helped the injured man back on his feet. He was rushed to a hospital and good thing the man only experience non-life-threatening injuries. Senator Scott Weiner claimed, “When I saw that video I was completely horrified.” Weiner, whose district includes San Francisco, thinks there needs to be a zero-tolerance policy for that kind of violence.
“We have witnessed several assaults like this on the streets of San Francisco mainly targeting our seniors and it’s disgusting, we need a policy that if you act like this you’re going to get convicted, you’re going to get prosecuted,” said Weiner.

San Francisco police are asking the public for help finding the suspect.

Additionally, police describe the suspect as a white or Hispanic man in his late 30s to early 40s with a short beard.
