SAN FRANCISCO (BCN) -- San Francisco police on Wednesday appealed to the public for help identifying and finding a suspect who stabbed a man in the face without provocation in the city's UN Plaza area last month.
On Feb. 3, the victim, a 31-year-old man, was near Seventh and Market streets when the suspect suddenly stabbed him in the face.
The suspect ran off east on Market Street, according to police.
