Afternoon stabbing on Mission leaves victim in serious condition

A man was stabbed and seriously injured at about 3 p.m. Monday on Mission Street between 22nd and 23rd streets, according to Police Department Sergeant Murray Daggs, one of about a dozen officers at the scene.

The stabbing left one person with life-threatening injuries, according to police. Footage on the Citizen app, which first reported the crime, shows the victim being carried on a stretcher into a San Francisco Fire Department ambulance.

Daggs said police are investigating the incident and declined to confirm the exact location of the stabbing. However, multiple eyewitnesses saw the stabbing happen in front of Lucky Pork Market (2659 Mission St.).

A man in the area, who asked not to be named, said he saw one man chasing another, on foot, toward 23rd Street. The assailant tackled the man to the ground and stabbed him multiple times before fleeing, he said.

Footage on the Citizen app shows officers providing aid to a man in front of 2641 Mission St.

Meanwhile, police taped off the eastern block from Elite Sports (2637 Mission St.) to Gamestop (2673 Mission St.), and about a dozen officers remained on the scene.

By 4:45 p.m., police reopened the block to traffic.

No arrests were made as of 6:05 p.m.

Although the current condition of the victim is unknown, the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner today said there were no deaths from stab wounds yesterday.
