SFPD calls bot 🚔

**MEDIA STATEMENT ON STABBING AT ZSFGH** At approximately 1:30 p.m. today, ZSFGH staff requested additional security for a doctor who had received threats from a patient at Ward 86 at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital. While providing security for the doctor, our sheriff’s deputy heard a disturbance unfolding in the hallway involving the suspect, who was attacking a social worker. The deputy intervened immediately, restraining the suspect and securing the scene. The victim, a 31-year old UCSF social worker, sustained multiple stab wounds, including injuries to the neck and shoulder. Medical staff on site performed lifesaving measures, including CPR. The victim was transported to the operating room in critical condition. Deputies recovered a five-inch kitchen knife believed to have been used in the attack. The suspect—identified as a 35-year old male who was at the hospital for a scheduled appointment and had reportedly made threats beforehand to the doctor—was taken into custody at the scene. The Sheriff’s Office is maintaining security on the sixth floor. Hospital staff and patients in the vicinity were understandably shaken, but there is no ongoing threat to the public. Further updates will be provided as information becomes available. ###
