Overview
- Plainclothes officers detained an 11-year-old girl and arrested two others, aged 13 and 14, on suspicion of assault likely to produce great bodily injury.
- The arrests follow an unprovoked attack on July 26 in the South of Market neighborhood that left two people with non-life-threatening injuries.
- Bystander interventions played a key role in stopping the most recent assault before suspects fled the scene.
- Investigators used surveillance intelligence from the Real Time Investigation Center to identify suspects and coordinate across patrol, special operations and investigations units.
- Interim Chief Paul Yep pledged to deploy all available resources to hold the juveniles accountable and maintain public safety as the probe remains active.
