A stabbing suspect yesterday led police on a destructive chase throughout San Francisco during which he purportedly “attempted homicides with a vehicle,” striking multiple pedestrians. He is also accused of intentionally ramming a police vehicle in Dolores Park before eventually being captured.
At just after 8:30 a.m. on Sunday, police responded to a stabbing scene in the 400 block of Broderick near Divisadero. The suspect drove south toward Fell; his alleged victim was transported to the hospital with life-threatening injuries.
During the suspect’s flight, he is accused of striking multiple pedestrians and vehicles. Police distinguished “attempted homicides with a vehicle” and “aggravated assaults with a vehicle on pedestrians and Emergency personnel throughout San Francisco.” Multiple victims were hospitalized.
When a police car approached the suspect’s vehicle in Dolores Park, the suspect responded by ramming the squad car. The officer within was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries.
Following a chase, the suspect fled his vehicle on foot near Carson and Douglass streets in the Castro, and climbed into a tree. Following police attempts to defuse the situation, the suspect purportedly leaped out of the tree and sustained significant injuries.
He remains hospitalized at this time, and the investigation of yesterday’s rampage is ongoing.

Ukraine’s secret weapon in its battle against Russia: crowdfunding
On April 27, 2023, Diana Kulyk's father told her he was leaving the next day to start training to fight Russia. She was filled with dread but knew she needed to act. Her hands shaking, Kulyk, a 24-year-old only child, tried to type the perfect tweet that would convince her roughly 20,000 followers to donate more than $3,000 for equipment that would help keep her father alive."Hello, this is the most important tweet I have ever written," she began. "I'm Diana Kulyk, daughter of Ruslan Kulyk. My father is a simple man, a baker by profession, a human being full of love and care. The person who took care of me since I came into this world. He needs help." Beneath the text were two images: a selfie of Diana and Ruslan smiling under golden-hour sunlight, and a spreadsheet of […]

Planning Commission advances Mission anti-displacement plan
Read Mission Local often?If so, consider supporting us — San Francisco’s premier independent, nonprofit newsroom — during end-of-year fundraising. We’re almost at our $200,000 goal! The San Francisco Planning Commission on Thursday voted unanimously to endorse the Mission Action Plan 2030 — an updated version of the city’s existing plan to fight displacement in one of the neighborhoods hardest hit by gentrification.The plan, said Miriam Chion, the director of community equity at the planning department, “becomes the compass for city strategies, program legislation and investments.” The new plan largely maintains the city’s current priorities for the Mission — “secure funding at all levels” to build affordable housing, strengthen tenant protections for “vulnerable Mission Latino residents,” protect businesses and nonprofits in the area, and “preserve and promote cultural resources” across the neighborhood. But, in a nod to changing post-pandemic conditions along the Mission’s […]

La Doña headlines Encuentro del Canto Popular at the Chapel
Holding a fundraiser in a funeral home might not seem like a recipe for joy — or longevity. But after more than four decades, the Encuentro del Canto Popular continues to thrive as one of the region’s signature Latin music events. Launched as a one-off in 1982 by a young attorney named Bill Martinez and Juan Gonzalez — founder of the Mission newspaper El Tecolote — the first six-act program took place in the chapel of what was then Halsted & Co. Funeral Directors on Valencia Street.Over the years, the annual event has presented some of Latin American music’s most illustrious stars at venues around the city. But on Sunday, Dec. 8, the 43rd annual Encuentro returns to the same location where it started — which is now the music venue known as The Chapel. A fundraiser for the arts […]
Murder trial: Bob Lee used apparent knife for cocaine in new video
In a bombshell revelation on day two of closing arguments, Nima Momeni’s defense team said Cash App founder Bob Lee was using a knife to do cocaine hours before he ended up stabbed. The allegation, supported by a video shown to jurors today for the first time, may bolster the claim that Momeni, on trial for murder, stabbed Lee in self-defense after Lee attacked him with a knife.In the video, Lee and his friend Bo Mohazzabi are standing outside The Battery, a members-only club where they had drinks on the evening of April 3, 2023 — hours before Lee was killed. They each in turn bend forward to do a bump of apparent drugs off a long pointy object that protrudes out of Lee’s hand, and glints in the light. Lee can be seen digging the instrument into what appears to […]
