The scene of Saturday's early-morning robbery and stabbing

​Body armor-wearing man, shot 16 times, also remains among the living

Police believe they've arrested the knife-wielding man behind a disturbing Saturday mob attack in Dolores Park. Up to a dozen young people swarmed a 40-year-old Asian San Francisco man, stabbing him multiple times in the torso, robbing him, and leaving him near death.

Officer Samson Chan, a San Francisco Police spokesman, told SF Weekly that the "main suspects are in custody" -- including the only man police believe stabbed the victim.

Police detained seven people following the early-morning stabbing and three remain in custody: A 17-, 18-, and 20-year old -- all Hispanic males residing in San Francisco. Several other "persons of interest" are being sought.

Chan said there appeared to be no motive behind the attack other than a mob targeting a vulnerable victim and robbing him. While preliminary reports said the man was deprived of a backpack, Chan was uncertain of this.

In an ostensibly unrelated -- but equally disturbing -- attack, a 33-year-old Oakland man who was wearing body armor is also clinging to life after being shot 16 times. That barrage of gunfire came at around 3:15 a.m. on Sunday morning in the 300 block of Ellis Street. No arrests have been made.
