Police are asking for the public’s help in identifying a man who poured bleach on a woman in the Tenderloin last month, temporarily blinding her.

On Sunday, July 30, a 53-year-old woman was standing on the sidewalk on the 100 block of Eddy Street around 7:30pm when the suspect told her to leave the area. The man then departed and returned immediately with bleach, which he dumped on the victim’s head.

The victim was temporarily blinded, but she was treated at a hospital for non-life-threatening injuries. The suspect fled on a red mountain bike, riding toward Powell BART.

Investigators from Tenderloin Station obtained photos of an individual believed to the suspect in the assault.

Anyone who recognizes this person or has information in this case is asked to contact police anonymously by calling 415-575-4444, or sending a text to TIP411, with “SFPD” at the beginning of the message.

Tipsters should reference case #170-619-971.
