A bloodied man in a hospital gown broke into Jen’s Cole Valley home early Saturday morning.

He went on a rampage inside smashing furniture.

“The next thing he did was hurl this radiator through my bedroom window & jumped out.”

It was a 3rd story window. (1/4) #SanFrancisco

After the suspect hurled himself out the 3rd story window (rear end first) neighbors came out to see what happened.

1 found a severed finger in the garden.

SFPD arrested 41-y/o Russell Long of Redding. He was booked for burglary, false imprisonment & more (2/4) #SanFrancisco

Jen’s neighbors say there have been other incidents inv. people breaking in wearing hospital gowns or wristbands.

“This exposes a greater problem. The mental health homeless problem in SF is real.” Says Jen.

PD & a nearby hospital couldn’t say where suspect came from. (3/4)

Here is a small sample of videos people from around the Bay Area send me.

1. This is a car break-in from around 8:30 last night at the 99 Ranch in Cupertino. A man captured this break-in on his Tesla’s camera. He had nothing in the car trunk. (1/4) #BayArea

2. A woman in Pacific Heights was fed up w/all of the crime/thefts at her home/neighborhood so she installed a Ring camera.

This is who she found Sunday, taking items from her property. You can get the woman say “Give all of that stuff back. Go.” (2/4) #SanFrancisco

The woman was also seen doing this on Elizabeth’s property. (It was a video but obviously too graphic to share…so I made it into a still and put a censor on it. You get the idea.)

Elizabeth also says a bag was stolen from her porch several days earlier. #SanFrancisco (3/4)

Karla was celebrating a friend’s daughter’s b-day Sat & was targeted in an unprovoked assault.

(1/4) #SanFrancisco

Karla’s friends say a man approached their picnic, mumbled words, grabbed cupcakes then flung their entire spread everywhere.

The man hurled a can into Karla’s face. Her nose was broken. “I could feel the blood going down my throat”.

She blacked out. #SanFrancisco (2/4)

Police tell me 46-y/o Stephen Miller was arrested. This is the mess he left.

Karla says “I’d like to see SF be the amazing place I know it can be. It was when I was growing up…how about we don’t let someone back on the street who is extremely dangerous?” #SanFrancisco

This is fake jewelry thieves are handing to seniors across the Bay Area, SoCal & Sacramento area to distract them as they’re getting robbed of their real jewelry.

This fake stuff was given to a 59-year old disabled woman in San Jose before the suspect took her gold chain. (1/4)

@SanRamonPolice

Many of the victims (10 known ones in San Ramon) according to @SanRamonPolice are SE Asian. Many victims don’t report to PD.

One victim according to @SantaClaraPD was a 90-year old non-Asian woman who was taken for $40,000 in jewelry!

(This vid is an 82-y/o Chinese Vic in SJ.)

San Ramon police say the perps appear to be made of people f/Eastern Europe.

They call this a slight-of-hand crime b/c the suspect hugs or approaches the victim & it takes only a few secs to undo a necklace.

Many victims like this one in SR don’t realize it’s happening. (4/5)

@NancyTungSF

“We will fight until hell freezes over” @NancyTungSF @AsiansAreStrong @StopAAPIHate @UnitedPeaceColl & more rally at HOJ ahead of 84-y/o Rong Xin Liao’s hearing.

They want “strict punishment” for his attacker (who was released & comtd a felony & is back in jail) #StopAAPIHate

This is Mr. Liao ‘s attack. He was kicked out of his seated walker in the TL.

I broke this story back in March. abc7news.com/san-francisco-…

He says he lives in fear & goes out only once a day now. #StopAsianHate

Here’s Mr. Liao today: he expressed his gratitude & extreme emotion for seeing so many people out to support him. #StopAAPIHate

Speaking of mass robberies in the Bay Area…a family-owned jewelry shop in Oakland’s Chinatown was targeted around 1:40AM.

The owner tells me about a dozen people were seen on surveillance trying to break in.

You can see a crowbar & what appears to be a carjack (1/4) #BayArea

The people are unable to break through the metal gate installed earlier this year. (They were robbed in Feb.)

I shortened the 4m vid but here’s the end where you can see everyone run into waiting cars nearby.

"We just feel so numb & disgusted.” says the owner. (2/4) #oakland

A good neighbor called 9-1-1 to alert OPD.

BTW: this shop was the one I reported on a few months ago. A family member witnessed women get robbed & dragged on the ground outside.

He ran after them & threw a stool to stop the getaway car. (3/4) #oakland #aapi
