At about 1:15 a.m. this morning, an unidentified suspect hit a 40-year-old woman from behind using a skateboard. The incident occurred at 18th and Mission streets, and the woman suffered lacerations to the head and was treated at St. Luke’s hospital for her injuries. The suspect stole the woman’s smartphone and some cash before fleeing in an unknown direction.
A woman walking on 23rd and Harrison streets was punched in the face and robbed at 8:15 p.m. earlier in the night. The suspect, a male 30 to 35 years old, took the victim’s cell phone, but she was able to recover it from him. The suspect then fled the scene.
