88-year-old Asian woman critically injured in unprovoked San Francisco attack.
California Man Arrested for Violently Assaulting Elderly Woman in San Francisco
A shocking incident unfolded in San Francisco last week as a California man allegedly carried out a violent assault on an elderly woman. This disturbing crime comes at a time when the city is grappling with rising crime rates and an exodus of businesses.
The suspect, 27-year-old James Lee Ramsey, reportedly spat in the face of another victim before kicking the 88-year-old Asian-American woman to the ground in downtown San Francisco on Friday morning. According to Fox News, bystanders managed to detain Ramsey until the police arrived. The victim was rushed to the hospital with life-threatening injuries.
This unprovoked attack is just one example of the escalating crime, drug use, and homelessness issues plaguing San Francisco. The city has witnessed a significant increase in homicides and fentanyl-related deaths over the past three years, with homicides surging by nearly 40 percent. Additionally, more than half a million residents have left California in the aftermath of the pandemic, as reported by the New York Post. Furthermore, between 2018 and 2021, over 350 companies have relocated from California, according to the California Globe.
James Lee Ramsey has been charged with felony elder abuse and assault, along with two misdemeanors for battery and vandalism.
San Francisco district attorney Brooke Jenkins condemned Ramsey’s alleged crimes as “horrific” and expressed her frustration with the brazen violence.
Jenkins assumed office in July after her predecessor, Chesa Boudin, was recalled. During Boudin’s tenure as district attorney, he controversially eliminated cash bail and announced that he would not prosecute certain misdemeanors, including prostitution and public urination, as reported by SFist.
