At approximately 8 am an incident involving an assault was reported at 180 Jones Street on the southeast corner. The corner doesn’t appear to have any cameras.

Police responded and confirmed that a man had sprayed two people with bear spray.

The man then fled eastbound on Turk Street.

The suspect is described as a white man in his 30s, approximately 5'9" tall, wearing a black baseball cap, a brown jacket, and dirty blue jeans.

Both victims were flushing their eyes out with a hose given to them by a local business. Medics arrived on Turk and Jones for another medical call but moved over to this scene.

The cause of the incident is unknown, nor why these two people were assaulted, nor why the man was in possession of bear spray in San Francisco. It is also unknown where the suspect is currently.
