SAN FRANCISCO—A suspect responsible for an attempted robbery on a MUNI bus has been arrested. The San Francisco Police Department reported on October 7, at approximately 7:10 p.m., an adult female walked into Mission Police Station to a report an attempted robbery.
The victim told officers that while she was aboard a MUNI bus, an unknown adult male suspect approached her and attempted to take an object away from her. While struggling over the object, the suspect dragged the victim for a few feet, causing the victim to fall to the ground and sustain non-life-threatening injuries.
