On Sunday, May 2, the SFPD responded to an aggravated assault on the #5 Fulton muni train at around 2:25 p.m. The bus driver told police a woman had her hair set on fire by a male teen who ran away immediately afterwards with two people of interest.
The suspect was a Black teen who was last seen wearing a red long sleeve top with colored logo on the front with matching red pants and a black backpack. They were seen running eastbound towards McAllister Street.
