SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A British tourist who was stabbed in the head during a robbery in San Francisco died after being hospitalized for more than a month, police said.

Paul Tam, 48, of Manchester, died Thursday at San Francisco General Hospital, where he was taken after the Feb. 18 attack, San Francisco Police Officer Albie Esparza said.

Tam was walking with his niece when he was attacked by a couple. Tam tried to hold onto his messenger bag but was stabbed in the head by the male suspect, Esparza told the San Francisco Chronicle (http://bit.ly/1XSWL9J).

Comment at the site: "It's sure a good thing they didn't attempt to describe the perpetrators. Someone could get the wrong idea."

Yup, upon reading the description, one would probably have another + to add to the prejudice weighting list.

Any chance the perp was a new arrival to these shores called “Pedro”?

[NormsRevenge]

Tourists are fair game here. It’s like a human hunting ground for predators. The system and CCTV cams can only do so much..

Sanctuary City, my arse.

No description of the suspects given in the article. Like the survivor of the attack couldn’t have described them to police and to the media?

[Pontiac]

Yeah, they have video of the attack but no picture, no video and no description of the perp.

I wonder have to wonder why.

I saw the video over on DailyMail and it is scary. The perp had on a hooded sweatshirt.

Shocked this is even being reported after all a knife was used, can’t ban knives, remember according to leftists knives do very minimal damage, only naughty naughty guns should be banned

Planning my trip this summer, and VERY CAREFUL to avoid San Francisco. I don’t want to spend any dollars that came from North Carolina there.

It was better when guys like Stone and Keller were on the job.

Any Skittles?

No, it was Pablo.

Sounds like the rest of America should boycott SF, just like they are trying to do to states of Georgia and NC.

[RaginRak]

I thought sanctuary cities were peaceful places

[doldrumsforgop]

Last time I was there years ago the beggars hung out around the hotels trying to get some money to get a joint.

A very dirty, disgusting place I have no interest in returning to.

A very good chance. Most crimes are now committed by latino immigrants/illegals. The black population has declined to about 5 percent in SF, with many of them middle class. The bad ones are a lower percentage, concentrated in the southeast corner of the city. But you can find the illegals are everywhere in the city, and a good bet they are looking to score on tourists.

Rule #1: Stay out of Leftist cities. Anywhere on earth. (no matter what the scenery may look like)

Poor St. Francis.
