HAPPENED... JUST BEFORE NOON...
AT SUBWAY BETWEEN FIFTH AND
SIXTH, ON MARKET.
THE AREA....SHUT DOWN FOR
HOURS... NIGHTBEAT'S JOE VAZQUEZ
WITH WHAT POLICE AND WITNESSES
ARE SAYING TONIGHT.
STANDUP: Joe Vazquez / San
Francisco The Subway shop here
on market street is closed
tonight ... following the
stabbing of an employee and the
officer-involved shooting of the
knife-wielding assailant. TRACK:
Witnesses took these photos of a
man with a bloody face sitting
on a curb along Market Street.
He is wearing a subway work
uniform. San Francisco Police
officers may have saved his
life.
It happened around 11:30 am,
inside the restaurant ... A man
with a knife began arguing about
a sandwich, sources tell KPIX5.
Just as two beat cops arrived to
help... witnesses say the
assailant began stabbing the
employee, then refused to drop
his knife. Johnny Jimenez / San
Francisco There was yelling back
and forth ... "I'm not even
doing anything" ... and then,
"Get on the ground!, Get on the
ground!" It was just pow pow!
... and I'm right here at the
corner.
Chief Bill Scott / San Francisco
Police Dept. During the course
of the intervening ... at least
one officer discharged a
firearm. TRACK: The knife-
wielding man died of his gunshot
wounds. It is the first
officer-involved shooting in San
Francisco this year. Police
won't say much about the
stabbing victim, but Supervisor
Jane Kim tells KPIX5 that police
told her the victim was an Asian
male who was an employee at
Subway. The chief is reluctant
to call his officers heroes this
early in the investigation.
Chief Bill Scott / San Francisco
Police Dept. I dont' have
anything additional to add to
the facts at this time. That
would be inappropriate. But I am
very, very happy and pleased
that the individual who was
attacked is alive and expected
to survive, so that's a good
thing. On the nightbeat ... Joe
Vazquez, KPIX5.
