A young passenger aboard a Muni bus was stabbed on Monday afternoon just south of Chinatown near Union Square.
The San Francisco Police Department confirmed to The Standard that at 4:41 p.m. on Monday, a scuffle broke out on a bus between two minors. The victim, who is male, was treated for a potential stab wound, at first by officers and later by medics. He was transported to the hospital with life-threatening injuries.
SFPD reported that, with the assistance of witnesses, they have “detained multiple subjects who may have been involved in the assault,” but that no arrests have yet been made.
