SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF) – Police in San Francisco have arrested a man suspected of stabbing older two Asian women — one who was 85 years old — in the city’s Mid-Market area late Tuesday afternoon.

San Francisco Police Public Information Officer Michael Andraychak confirmed that at approximately 7 p.m., officers from the Tenderloin Station located and arrested a 54-year-old male San Francisco resident suspected in the stabbing on the 600 block of Eddy Street. Charges against the suspect are pending, police said. There was no confirmation as of Tuesday night whether the suspect was facing a hate crime charge.
KPIX was able to identify one of the victims as 85-year-old Chui Fong Eng, who was seriously injured from stab wounds in the chest and arm. The second victim was 65 years old. Both women were undergoing surgery at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital Tuesday evening.
Officers responded to area of 4th and Stockton streets around 4:50 p.m. and found the women, who were suffering from stab wounds.

People who saw the attack told KPIX a man clutching a knife was walking down Market Street when he casually approached a bus stop and stabbed the two women.

“The assailant essentially just walked up to their victim, stabbed them and very casually walked away in broad daylight,” said witness Jenny Shao.

Both victims were taken to a local hospital, but their conditions were not immediately known to police.

An eyewitness to the stabbing submitted a photo to KPIX of a potential suspect. The picture appears to show a man with a shaved head, wearing a dark colored shirt, blue jeans and wearing black and white sneakers. The man also appears to be carrying a black and green bag.
San Francisco Supervisor Matt Haney tweeted that the suspect was in custody just before 7:30 p.m.

Haney called the incident a “disgusting and horrific attack.”
