A San Francisco man allegedly assaulted a leader at a church on Sunday before fleeing in a vehicle and throwing an unknown object at officers during a police pursuit.
A San Francisco man allegedly assaulted a parishioner at one of the city's churches on Sunday before throwing an unknown object at officers during an ensuing police pursuit. An unidentified man arrived at Saints Peter and Paul Church before service on Sunday and took communion before allegedly assaulting one of the parishioners and being chased out of the church, the pastor told local TV station KGO-TV. Police responded to the 600 block of Filbert Street at about 5:52 p.m.
The pursuit continued onto the freeway, where California Highway Patrol units took over and eventually arrested the suspect. A spokesperson for CHP told KGO-TV that the suspect did not throw anything from their car after the agency took over the pursuit. However, CHP did discover items inside the suspect's vehicle during the arrest.
San Francisco police said there are no reports of injuries or property damage in connection with the police chase. The public has been asked to avoid the area of 8th and Mission streets and the 1500 block of Jones Street.
