Man stabbed after intervening in domestic dispute in Fillmore district

A man was stabbed in the chest after trying to intervene in a domestic dispute in San Francisco's Fillmore District on Thursday evening, a police spokesman said Friday.

The stabbing was reported at about 5 p.m. in the 1500 block of Steiner Street, police spokesman Sgt. Daryl Fong said.

The 59-year-old victim saw a dispute between a man and woman and tried to intervene and separate them, Fong said.

The man told the victim to mind his own business, then swung and struck him in the chest, according to Fong.

The suspect and woman ran away while the victim went to a nearby bus stop. He initially thought he just had the wind knocked out of him, but when a passerby stopped and asked him if he was OK, the victim realized he had been stabbed, Fong said.

The victim then boarded a San Francisco Municipal Railway bus and took it to San Francisco General Hospital while keeping pressure on his wound, Fong said. He is expected to survive.

The stabbing suspect is described as a black man in his mid 30s who is about 5 feet 8 inches tall, weighs 170 pounds and was wearing dark clothing, according to Fong.

Anyone with information about the case is encouraged to call the Police Department's anonymous tip line at (415) 575-4444 or send a tip by text message to TIP411.

Northbound I-880 reopened after multi-vehicle crash

All lanes of northbound Interstate Highway 580 have reopened in Oakland Friday morning following a multi-vehicle crash that may have involved a hit-and-run, according to the California Highway Patrol.

The collision, which occurred just after 10 a.m. on northbound Highway 580 just north of High Street, appears to have involved five vehicles, one of which may have fled the scene, said CHP Officer Sam Morgan.

There were no injuries reported in the crash, Morgan said.

The collision shut down the two left lanes of the freeway for about an hour, but that closure was lifted shortly after 11 a.m.

Two charged with murder in fatal Newark crash

Two men are facing murder charges in a crash following a police pursuit in Newark that left two people dead.

Jabrie Watts and Deshon Collier have been charged with murder, burglary and possession of stolen property. They were arraigned on Thursday.

Police say the two men and a third suspect, Rajwaun Watkins, all aged 20, had stolen jewelry and a watch from a home and were fleeing police on Jan. 18 when their sedan hit a Honda. The Honda's driver, 69-year-old Robert Cheney, died at the scene.

Watkins was pronounced dead two days later.

Newark police say officers were chasing the men's car, but had ended the pursuit before the crash over concerns about public safety.

The murder charges against Watts and Collier are in connection with Cheney's death. The two are expected to appear in court again on Friday.
