1

From NY PostShocking surveillance video captured a brazen daylight stabbing in San Francisco’s Chinatown on Thursday — showing a hooded man casually walking up behind an apparent stranger before plunging a knife into his back.

The disturbing footage, obtained by local station KRON4, shows the suspect strolling along the sidewalk near the corner of Stockton and Sacramento streets just after 1 p.m.


The suspect walked behind the male victim, who was standing near a crosswalk, pulled a knife out, and stabbed him in the lower back. The suspect then walked away.

The victim fell to the ground as others, some seemingly unaware of what occurred, walked around him. One man appears to use a cell phone, possibly to call for help.

The incident appears to be an unprovoked assault.

Police arrived to find the victim suffering from a stab wound. He was transported to a hospital with life-threatening injuries, police said.

The suspect was located after witnesses provided a description. He was detained without incident and taken into custody, according to KRON4.
