Social worker stabbed by patient at SF General HIV care clinic
A 31-year-old UCSF social worker was stabbed by a patient on Thursday at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital at 22nd Street and Potrero Avenue. The stabbing victim is now in critical condition, according to the sheriff's office.
Sheriff Paul Miyamoto said incidents involving weapons are not typical inside the jail.
"When we have fights, use of weapons is not usually something that happens, although it does," Miyamoto said. "People make things, improvise things that are made into weapons in the jail. We stay on top of searching and make sure they’re not in the population."
Investigation ongoing
Authorities are investigating what led to the attack.
