Woman cuts in line at food drive, then cuts volunteer with razor blade

SAN FRANCICSO —

 A woman was arrested Sunday afternoon after cutting in line at a
food drive in San Francisco's Bayview District, then cutting a volunteer
working there with a razor blade, police said.

   The attack was reported at about 12:30 p.m. Sunday near the
intersection of Third Street and McKinnon Avenue, where a food drive was
being set up.

   Volunteers were stacking food on tables and preparing to give it
out when the woman walked ahead of other people in line, then began to take
food from the table, according to police.

   One of the volunteers asked her to put the food down but she
refused, prompting another volunteer to get involved and try to get the woman
away from the tables.

   At that point, the woman apparently became enraged and pushed the
two volunteers, then took out a razor blade and began swinging it at them,
cutting one in the arm, police said.

   Police responded and arrested the woman, whose name was not
immediately available this afternoon. She was booked into jail on suspicion
of aggravated assault with a weapon, according to police.

   The victim who was sliced was taken to San Francisco General
Hospital to be treated for her injury.
