Three Boys Accused in Violent Stabbing Attack on San Bruno 14-Year-Old

Three teens have been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and gang participation, following a “lengthy ongoing investigation” into a stabbing attack that happened in South San Francisco last month, police said Wednesday.

Officers identified the trio, all of whom are males, aged 12, 14 and 15 years old, as suspects involved in the stabbing of San Bruno 14-year-old boy on Oct. 30. Police say that at around 7 p.m. on that day, the victim was walking on South San Francisco’s Centennial Trail when six or seven males confronted him, police said.

The group allegedly yelled gang related terms at the victim, before stabbing him several times in the back, police said. Then, they ran away, leaving the 14-year-old there on the trail.

The victim was taken to a hospital to be treated for his injuries, which were considered non-life threatening.

Officers have now booked the three teens into the Hillcrest Juvenile Facility, police said.

Anyone with information about the incident or the identity of the outstanding suspects is asked to call the South San Francisco Police Department at (650) 877-8900. Callers who wish to remain anonymous can call the anonymous tip line at (650) 952-2244 or send an email to tips@ssf.net.
