Neighbors living near Precita Park are concerned about two violent crimes that took place in the area over the weekend.
Late Saturday night, a neighbor witnessed an assault in Precita Park, as a man on a bike attacked a man walking near the west end of the park. The witness says the victim was apparently beaten to the point of near-uncsciousness.
Then, on Sunday night, Precita Avenue was blocked off west of Shotwell, as SFPD investigated a stabbing that occurred on the steps into the big parking lot along the 100 block of Precita.
Bernalwood reached out to Captain McFadden from SFPD Ingleside this morning for comment. He said both of the weekend incidents are likely connected to the recent wave of gang-related crime. Capt. McFadden told Bernalwood:
All are related to the same gang activity of a few individuals. The [stabbing] victim will be ok. The Gang Task Force is handling the investigation, and hopes to make arrests in the case soon, which should stop the activity completely.

Precita has become a weekend problem on a regular basis. It reminds me of when I lived on Barbes…. Nice and quiet during the week and a risk on weekends. This will make home owners nervous because they think of how this may affect their property value.
I wouldn’t be surprised the day Mary says she is selling to move to Davis.
