Brutal Attack on Chinatown Seniors Caught on Video
Early November 2019, two suspects assaulted a group of men in their 60s. The suspects approached the group, who was walking in San Francisco's Chinatown around 9:00 pm, before punching the men in attempted robbery. Three men were hurt during the attack, two of whom suffered non-life-threatening injuries. It is unknown whether the crime was racially motivated, although the San Francisco Chronicle reports that the violent beating of these elderly men sparked fear and outrage among the city's Chinese-American community, who feels they are increasingly targeted. The two suspects remain at large.
