A seemingly unprovoked stabbing Thursday afternoon in San Francisco’s Chinatown left one male victim with life-threatening injuries. Police have arrested a suspect.<\/p>\n

The attack took place at the corner of Stockton and Sacramento streets in Chinatown around 1:13 pm Thursday. The SFPD responded to the scene and found the male victim suffering from a stab wound to the back.<\/p>\n

KRON4 subsequently obtained surveillance video<\/a> that shows the attacker, dressed in a black hoodie and carrying a shopping bag, approach the victim who was waiting at the intersection to cross the street. The suspect then thrusts a knife forcefully into the victim’s lower back, and continues walking into the intersection.<\/p>\n

The victim can be seen grabbing his back, and then falling to his knees in apparent pain.<\/p>\n

Passersby seem to ignore the victim, but one person is seen stopping to call for help on their cellphone.<\/p>\n

The victim was said to be suffering from a life-threatening injury, and was hospitalized. His current condition is not known.<\/p>\n

Police quickly located a suspect matching the description of the stabber on the 600 block of Powell Street, and he was reportedly detained without incident. As KRON4 notes, no pending charges have been publicized.<\/p>\n

This seemingly unprovoked attack took place several hours before an altercation in the Tenderloin<\/a> that left two members of Mayor Daniel Lurie’s security detail injured.<\/p>\n
