I got this bulletin from the folks at Folsom late last night:"Upon leaving our Bay of Pigs event at 535 York Street, San Francisco at approximately 2 a.m. Sunday morning July 27th, one of our patrons was brutally attacked and stabbed repeatedly. He was walking west on Mariposa, when he was jumped by a group of three Asian men walking east on Mariposa. The men were apparently speaking Chinese, and they were accompanied by three Asian women. We believe the attack was a hate crime. Luckily, he returned to the venue where our medical and security teams were able to rush him to the hospital. He is in stable condition.
We are writing to see if you or anyone you know has any information that may lead us to the attackers. If so, please contact Inspector Brian Danker - SFPD at 415-553-9256. Folsom Street Events cares deeply about the health and well-being of our community members. Please help us to look out for one another and help us bring closure to this dreadful incident."
If you happened to be there and saw anything please make sure to contact the authorities. And if you weren't, it's a good reminder to always be on the lookout and keep your wits about you. This kind of thing can happen anytime, anyplace, anywhere and the best defense is awareness.
