Assault At Bus Stop
Shortly before midnight on Wednesday night, a 32-year-old woman got off a bus at 16th Street and South Van Ness Avenue. Two women and a man approached her and threw her to the ground, where they kicked and punched her. The suspects fled the scene without taking anything from the woman, but left her with a laceration to her eye, and general pain in her face.
The woman was transported to San Francisco General Hospital in non-life-threatening condition and no arrests were made.
Attempted Robbery and Robbery
At around 2:15 p.m. on Wednesday, a man driving a grey four-door Nissan approached a woman in her 20s exiting a cannabis dispensary near Guerrero and 14th streets and pulled out two handguns. He threatened the victim, who ran back in to the dispensary to call the police. No arrest was made.
Later the same day, at 7:32 p.m., a youth, estimated to be 15 or 16 years old, approached a 14-year-old boy on Florida Street between 23rd and 24th streets and threatened him with a knife while two other male teenagers looked on from across the street. The suspect told the victim to hand over his jacket. When the victim complied, the suspect fled on skateboards.
