SAN FRANCISCO — San Francisco police have made an arrest in a brutal assault and robbery of a woman during the city’s gay pride festivities.
Police say surveillance video of the June 30 attack shows 23-year-old Oakland resident Christopher Porter-Bailey kick the woman in the face while she is on the ground, seemingly for no reason.
The woman had been robbed of her purse and cellphone by a group of suspects that allegedly included Porter-Bailey, and the kick to the head knocked her unconscious.
Police announced Porter-Bailey’s arrest on Wednesday. He was taken into custody last week and has been charged with robbery, aggravated assault and battery likely to produce serious injury.
