Three suspects robbed a 28-year-old man on Monday, according to police.
The victim was on 16th and Mission at around 3:15 p.m. when he was approached by the suspects, described as two men in their early twenties and another in his fifties. One suspect asked for the victim’s watch and another brandished a knife, which prompted the victim to hand over his watch.
The suspects fled on foot and no arrests have been made.
Time to start carrying my stun gun.
these are easy crimes to avoid. Just say “no” and run away. I guarantee you they won’t be chasing you… If you’re a 28yo man you should be able to break out into a quick jogg….
this is what happens when you just say “no”

That’s horrible advice.
If this happens completely FREAK OUT AND BE AS LOUD AS POSSIBLE while RUNNING away. They are less likely to chase after you if you’re causing a scene. I would hope but not expect fellow citizens to come to your assistance.
so now muggings are happening in the middle of the day at a location with heavy foot traffic and people around ?
i see.
