The grandson and his family have requested privacy during this time. I promise them I would learn as much as I could about their suspected perpetrator and his record.

More soon. (2/2)

Here is the only real @gofundme the Eng family has set up.

Grandson Andrew says he doesn’t like asking for a handout but that his grandma really needs the support. I told him the community wants to help ❤️ bit.ly/3enyEBv

85-year old Ms. Fong is on a breathing tube since the knife punctured part of her lung. It has been hard because she also had COVID about a month ago and that she may have lingering effects from it.

𝗧𝗥𝗜𝗚𝗚𝗘𝗥 𝗪𝗔𝗥𝗡𝗜𝗡𝗚: after much discussion and debate, I am choosing to show you video I obtained from sources of the two Asian senior women were stabbed along Market Street this week.

This was not an easy decision.

Here is why:

(1/5) #StopAsianHate #AAPI
There always has to be a purpose to what is shown. To show context.

In this case my team and I felt like it was important to see what happened so you understand how serious this crime is— as you learn the previous criminal history of the suspect.

Takeaways f/the video:

You can see how calmly the suspect approaches

There are others in the area but the women are the clear targets.

A bystander rushed to help. More came shortly after.

I spoke to one yesterday who cradled Mrs. Fong while SFPD arrived (3/5) #AAPI

BREAKING: two Asian women stabbed on Market in SF. One has serious bleeding — the other still has knife in her arm.

#StopAsianHate #StopAAPIHate
Sources tell me this happened at the 4th/Stockton intersection. Suspect not yet in custody.
A man is in custody. He appears to have a thin build and some say he lives/hangs around the area. That’s the only suspect description I can share right now.

@KateABC7 working story tonight for @abc7newsbayarea & learned the suspect was apprehended along Eddy.

Jeremy & Hudson of @PainaSF finished holding a self-defense class when they spotted the robbery in progress! (1/4)

#AAPIHM
The tourist family were from Chicago & on their way to the airport. Here is their luggage, which Hudson & Jeremy managed to save.

Jeremy told me break-ins happen ALL the time & most of their staff have had their cars broken into. One 9+ times!
#AAPI
Jeremy & Hudson have been so fed up about the attacks on Asians & crime in general they started a group called Asians Are Strong which promotes unity & being proactive not passive.

Here you see staff of @PainaSF when they hear the break-in happening outside. (3/4) #AAPIHM

Carl as advocated tirelessly for Asian Americans as they’ve been attacked in Oakland.

He said he mustered up all his strength after being called a slur, stood up after getting hit in the back of the head & took a picture of the man he says attacked him

(2/4) #StopAAPIHate
He stuck around at the scene of 8th + Broadway and was able to ID the suspected attacker about 25 mins later. OPD was able to make an arrest.

Carl says he is going to monitor his head closely & is glad it was him who was attacked— not a senior or child.

Patrick Elliott & his family were on a CA road trip & visited Fisherman’s Wharf Monday

(1/5) #StopAAPIHate Image
Documents I obtained show Carlos Claros approached the family with 2 associates & showed a gun & attempted to take cell phones

Patrick said Claros called them “you Asians” and spit on one relative.

Another family member recorded what happened

I discovered Claros has an extensive criminal history incl. drug & stolen car possession last year & involvement in strong-armed robbery spree in late 2019 spanning multiple neighborhoods.

He was on probation during the Fisherman’s Wharf incident

As soon as Ms. Lee, who is in her 50’s got out of her car one man holds knocks her to the ground, holds her a at gunpoint & takes her purse.

He comes back to steal her jewelry which includes a $16K Rolex.
