Four men violently robbed a man late Thursday night at Treat Avenue and 25th Street, police said.
Police received a call at 11:53 p.m. Wednesday of a robbery at knifepoint. The four suspects, all men in their 20s, surrounded the victim, a 24-year-old man. One suspect put the victim in a choke hold while another held a knife to his throat and the other two punched him repeatedly. They stole the victim’s cash, cellphone, wallet and ID. The suspects then fled on foot.
The victim suffered a cut to the face and was taken to San Francisco General Hospital. His injury was not life-threatening.

At 1:15 a.m. on Friday at 25th and Utah streets, three male suspects stabbed a 40-year-old victim in his shoulder. The victim’s injuries were not life-threatening and he was taken to San Francisco General Hospital.
No arrests have been made.
It’s the projects, always has been and always will be. I’ve grown here and can attest to this.
Police very rarely patrol along 25th in that area. I know because I have to walk home from where I park my car there every night. Muggers know this by now, I am sure. They patrol 24th, sure, but not 25th — even though Garfield Park is right there.I got rid of my iPhone partly because of concern it would get stolen (and partly because AT&T sucks).
Is ANYONE ever arrested? Ever?
Awful, awful, awful. I wish there was more police presence.
Good luck with that. The thugs come out at night precisely because it’s impossible to maintain a police presence at all hours of the day.
