SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Police arrested a man who they said is suspected of stabbing two Asian American women without warning Tuesday afternoon in San Francisco's Mid-Market neighborhood.
Officers sent to the scene shortly before 5 p.m. found the wounded women, who were taken to a hospital. There was no immediate word on the condition of the women, who were 65 and 85.
Witnesses told KPIX-TV that a man clutching a knife was walking down Market Street when he approached a bus stop, stabbed the women and then walked away.
A 54-year-old San Francisco man was arrested on suspicion of committing the attack several hours later, police told the station.
Police didn't immediately indicate whether the women were specifically targeted or whether the attack might be a hate crime.
Asian Americans have been the targets of unprovoked attacks in the San Francisco Bay Area and elsewhere in the nation in recent months. ...
Isn't it interesting how The San Francisco Chronicle goes into detail about the victims ... and about the racist attacks on Asian-Americans, in general ... but, it doesn't provide any detail about the attacker except that he is male and 54 years old??? Hmmm ... wonder if he's Amish, eh?
