The East Bay victim, who was on a lunch break at work in the Financial District, is speaking out, saying the violence needs to stop and he no longer feels safe going to San Francisco.
Late Tuesday, police confirmed they have arrested 32-year-old Jorge Davis Milton in connection with this attack and another case where someone was stabbed in the face in San Francisco’s Mission District.
Milton has no home address and faces multiple felony charges.
“Somebody pushed me from the back and started hitting me and I lose consciousness and when I wake up I’m all bloodied up,” says 59-year-old Danilo Yu Chang, whose eyes are bruised and swollen shut after being attacked.Â
While Chang believes he was targeted for being a Chinese Filipino man, police say there is “nothing to indicate that the incident was motivated by bias,” telling us they believe the suspect was involved in the stabbing case too.
The Market Street attack happened Monday afternoon and was the first day Chang, a travel agent commuting from outside the city, was back at work since the start of the pandemic.
“I’ve got two black eyes but my vision has come back on the right side but the left is still…I cannot see from the left,” says Chang who went on to tell us, “they didn’t take anything, everything is with me, I didn’t lose anything.”

San Francisco police say the two incidents started on Monday around 1:30 p.m. when officers responded to 16th and Mission Streets regarding a stabbing. They found a 64-year-old man suffering from a wound to his cheek. Police say he was taken to the hospital with life-threatening injuries.
Officers eventually determined that the “suspect cut the victim’s face with a knife and knocked him to ground.”
The suspect then fled into the 16th and Mission BART Station.
