"Court documents obtained by ABC7 Eyewitness News state there were "no words spoken, no threat posed," and that the suspect, Jian Feng Huang, 37, "acted without mercy and with the specific intent to kill the victim.""
"Rawnie Chan, a store manager whose business sits near the intersection, said many initially believed the suspect and victim must have known each other or had argued. Learning it was random, she said, has left the community even more concerned."
"Prosecutors said the victim was placed in a medically induced coma and that the knife narrowly missed severing his aorta."
An unprovoked stabbing occurred at Stockton and Sacramento streets in San Francisco's Chinatown, where a man was stabbed in the back without warning or threat. Suspect Jian Feng Huang, 37, acted with specific intent to kill according to court documents. The victim was placed in a medically induced coma after the knife narrowly missed his aorta. Community members initially believed the attack involved acquaintances, but learning it was random has heightened neighborhood fear. The area was crowded at the time, and bystanders, including elderly non-English speakers, didn't immediately understand the incident. Huang has a prior 2020 arson conviction and pleaded not guilty to attempted murder charges.
