San Francisco police have released photos of several men they say were involved in an alleged assault that left two people with extensive injuries and sent both victims to the hospital. The incident happened last Sunday, after the suspects reportedly approached the victims outside a business on Fillmore Street, before the attack continued on Union Street. Investigators say the case is still very much active.

According to KRON4, the San Francisco Police Department shared images of the men officers believe were involved. Police say the suspects first contacted the victims on the 3100 block of Fillmore Street, then the alleged assault occurred on the 2000 block of Union Street. Detectives put the photos out in hopes that someone in the community can help put names to faces.

How to report tips

SFPD is asking anyone with information to call the department’s anonymous tip line at 1-415-575-4444 or text TIP411, starting the message with “SFPD.” Those options are listed on the department’s news and contact pages, which outline how to use the anonymous phone line and text-a-tip system. If you have home-surveillance or business security footage from around the area on the night of the attack, police say you should preserve it and let investigators know.

Neighborhood context

Union Street and the nearby Fillmore corridor have seen periodic robberies and assaults in recent years, and local crime roundups have repeatedly logged incidents in the area. That pattern has turned the commercial strips into regular hotspots for patrols and community-watch efforts, and earlier Hoodline coverage has documented similar episodes in the broader FiDi, North Beach, and Union Square zones. 

What investigators want

Police emphasize that anyone who recognizes the men in the released photos should not approach them. Instead, SFPD asks the public to call the department directly or use the anonymous tip options. The investigation remains open, and detectives are urging anyone with even the smallest piece of information to come forward.
