SAN FRANCISCO—The San Francisco Police Department is asking for the public’s help to locate a suspect who assaulted an elderly man on June 20. The SFPD reported that at approximately 3:45 p.m. officers from the Tenderloin Station responded to the area of UN Plaza to investigate a reported, unprovoked aggravated assault of an 83-year-old male.
When officers arrived on scene, they found the victim who was being treated by medics. Medics transported the victim to a local hospital to be treated for bone fractures.
