A 59-year-old San Francisco man is not expected to survive injuries suffered Friday afternoon when he was punched in the face by a man who had been part of an earlier assault on the victim's son, police said. Authorities said the victim, Tiansheng Yu, was on life support at a hospital Saturday.
Yu was critically injured about 3:04 p.m. in the 1800 block of Telegraph Avenue just a few feet from the entrance to the Fox Theater. Police said that moments earlier, Yu and his 27-year-old son, whose name was not released, had parked their car in the 1700 block of Broadway, planning to visit a coin store.
Sgt. Mike Gantt said Saturday that as the son was walking to the store, two men confronted him — one of them punching him in the face without warning. Sgt. Gus Galindo said the attacker "did not say a word or make any threats. He just cold-cocked him."
The two men took off, and the son, his face badly bruised and swollen, told his father what had happened. Police said Yu and his son began looking for the men and found them at 18th Street and Telegraph. They confronted the suspects, and one of them punched Yu in the face, causing him to fall and strike his head on the pavement, rendering him unconscious and unresponsive, police said.

IOW, 90% of all male residents of Oakland are suspects.
The usual suspects.
I would not live in that city without carrying an “equalizer”.
Doggone Amish getting violent again...its an epidemic ay?
There’s been several attacks recently of blacks attacking Chinese immigrants. In San Francisco, reectly, 2 women were beaten by blacks at a Muni platform. Imagine the outcry regarding hate crimes if it were whites or Asians targeting blacks instead of the other way around. It’s a double standard.
I mean this is just really becoming an epidemic.....black thugs in groups walking up to people (whites and asians) and sucker punching them....kicking them in the head, etc. It saddens me to watch this country descend into a third world hell and nobody seems to give a sh##.
Sounds a lot like the Zebra killings (Nation of Islam or Fruit of Islam, all black perps, all white victims, except this time Asians).
“Imagine the outcry regarding hate crimes if it were whites or Asians targeting blacks instead of the other way around. It’s a double standard.”
Gee, ya think?
I think Asians are covered by the Federal hate crime law. I’d have to ask Eric Holder for a definitive answer, though.
There’s lots of black bigotry in this country.
From my own personal observations in the NY/NJ area over the course of my life, a plurality of racial attacks/harassment have been by ghetto to lower-middle-class blacks against seemingly everyone else. It was even worse from the 1960s-1980s. Flame away!
You’re only too correct. I witnessed those same people attacking their fellow Blacks who happen to be interested in working or studying their way to a possible better life. Unfortunately, as someone of Asian descent, I was also the scums’ target.
“Doggone Amish getting violent again...its an epidemic ay?”
Call the perps what they are - it is past cute to label ‘em ‘Amish’. Call a spade a spade, and use the ‘N’ word if you have to.
The best thing that could happen to Oakland would be a revival of the tongs and triads, with brutal reprisals for this kind of thuggery.
I am all for accurate descriptions of perpetrators. It's beyond ridiculous when they describe someone in great detail as "6 foot 2, 190 lbs, dark eyes, dark hair, new white Air Jordans, long Raiders jacket, saggy pants, gold necklace", and then leave off a racial descriptor.
However, I am NOT in favor of racially inflammatory labels. That is counterproductive and unfair to decent, law-abiding members of the same minority groups. It only helps those who think we should make excuses for criminal thugs because of their race.
I suspect you are a provocateur from a Soros/Axelrod front group.
Sometimes I call a spade a spade. Other times I might call it a fn shovel. :-)
Yeah, he/she joined up in 2001. It’s been a long, patient campaign to smear FR and conservatives.
Another day in a beautiful urban center in America. Move along...nothing to see here.
If you think about it you may see that the truth is there is only one standard and various protected groups are at one end or that standard and the rest of us are at the other.
I live in the Chesapeake bay area of Maryland.
The delicacy here are Blue Crabs, and the best of the Blue Crabs are the number One males.
Every time I see a story like this I think of the police on the lookout for Number One males.
On the scanner here all we can hear after an assault or shooting is the cops on the lookout for Number one males.
It’s a crab problem.
