In a release issued by the San Francisco Police Department, on October 3, 2020, at approximately 2:15 p.m., a 44-year-old male San Francisco resident riding a Muni 14 Mission bus lost his balance as the bus got to the intersection of Mission and Duboce Streets and fell to the floor. The bus driver stopped the bus, called an ambulance and instructed all passengers to exit the MUNI train. While awaiting the medical attention for the victim, the wanted suspect stepped back onto the train and threw the victim out of the back door landing on his head. The victim was taken to a local hospital where he was diagnosed with having a traumatic head injury that has left him hospitalized all these months later.
