SFPD Seeking Public’s Assistance in Locating and Identifying Suspect in Aggravated Assault of a Cognitively Impaired Person 24-073

On July 5, 2024, at approximately 1:00 a.m., San Francisco Police officers were flagged down on the 2300 block of Buchanan Street on a report of a person down. The adult male victim was unconscious and suffering from life-threatening injuries, including a fractured skull. Officers rendered aid and medics transported the victim to a local hospital.

The victim was able to provide a video he took of the incident to investigators. The video showed the unknown male suspect blocking a Waymo vehicle and shouting at the vehicle. The Waymo vehicle was occupied by a passenger, with whom the victim spoke to. This passenger is unidentified at this time. After several minutes, the victim tells the suspect that he should probably let the car leave. The suspect moves away from the car and lunges at the victim, causing the victim to fall. The suspect lunges again and the victim falls to the ground again, at which point the suspect assaults the victim.

According to the victim's family, the victim is cognitively impaired. The victim is visibly disabled.

The SFPD General Work Detail took over the investigation and is seeking assistance from the public in identifying and locating the suspect involved in this incident.

The suspect is a male adult, approximately 25 to 30 years old, medium complexion with facial hair. He was last seen wearing a dark backward baseball cap, black jacket, blue shirt, light blue jeans, white sneakers, and carrying a white bag.
