Sunset Safeway Scare

Here’s an excerpt from the San Francisco Police Department’s daily crime log, courtesy of the Examiner. Who knew such mayhem went on in the sleepy lower Sunset?

Syringe-wielding shoplifter: Officers went to Safeway, on the 700 block of Taraval Street, where a shoplifter had been confronted by security after he had left the store at 11:40 p.m. Feb. 3. The shoplifter pulled out a syringe and threatened to infect the security officers. The employees surrounded the suspect and took him to the ground. The suspect, who lives on the 2100 block of Mission Street, was arrested for robbery, felony assault and possession of illegal narcotics.

Wonder if he was upset about the farm-raised salmon labeling?
