Two boys aged 16- and 14-years-old were arrested after a police chase that followed an armed carjacking and attempted carjacking of two Asian men in San Francisco, police said Wednesday.
The attacks happened Monday afternoon, with the first incident reported at about 3:10 p.m. on the 100- block of Mississippi St. in the city’s Potrero Hill neighborhood. A 37-year-old Asian man told responding officers that four Black males approached him while he was sitting in his vehicle and ordered him to get out of the vehicle.
About an hour later, officers responded to a report of a carjacking on the 100 block of Galewood Circle in the Forest Knolls neighborhood just west of Twin Peaks. A 76-year-old Asian told officers he was cleaning his vehicle inside his open garage when four Black males entered and demanded his car keys. One assailant dragged the victim out of the garage, pushed him to the ground and assault him, police said.
Officers chased the BMW onto the eastbound Bay Bridge, with the vehicle taking the Treasure Island exit and crashing. After a brief foot chase, police arrested a 14-year-old male and a 16-year-old male, both Oakland residents. Officers also found a semi-automatic handgun that was determined to have been discarded by the 14-year-old during the foot chase.
