Video from surveillance cameras shows a man violently attacking an Asian female police officer in San Francisco's Chinatown Friday night.
The attacker, who has since been identified as Geraldo Contreras, had allegedly been standing on the street corner near Clay and Kearny Streets just before 7 p.m. on Friday. Witnesses reportedly saw him vandalizing rental scooters and shouting threats at passersby. One witness reported hearing Contreras yell "Chinese people don't belong here." The officer who arrived on the scene was responding to calls of a drunk and disheveled man making threats.
