A birthday celebration at San Francisco's Ocean Beach on Saturday afternoon was interrupted by a man who at one point hurled a soda can, smashing a woman's face, one of the group members said.
*** The San Francisco Police Department responded to the incident on the beach near Taraval Street at 3 p.m. and arrested a suspect.
The three women and two teenage girls in the group noticed the man sitting about 30 feet away from them as they were having their picnic, Pillai said.
"When we saw him approaching, we were uncertain what to do," she said. "He came closer and then started spewing whatever gibberish he was speaking with foul words in between."
They ignored him, hoping he would go away, but instead he lunged forward and grabbed a box of cupcakes resting on a cooler, Pillai said.
When one of the mothers responded by saying, “That’s fine, you can take that, now please go,” Pillai said he “flew off the handle.”
“He mouthed some stuff at her and then swept the stuff off the cooler and then kicked everything off the cooler,” she said.
The man grabbed an unopened soda can from the cooler and threw it at the group of women, Pillai said.
"The weight of it and the force with which he threw it, it was shocking," she said. "He drew his arm back as hard as he could so the force with which that can came at her was tremendous."
Pillai said her friend staggered a few steps and collapsed on the sand from the shock and excruciating pain.
The San Francisco Police Department said the attack "appears unprovoked."

How dare they request him to leave his area on the beach!
Looks like an arrest was made.
Also looks like the journalist has no interest in telling us any details about the guy who was arrested.
“When we saw him approaching, we were uncertain what to do”
Don’t vote democrap next election
3 women and 2 teenage girls. They shoda stomped him. Too many women would rather be victims.
I’ll bet that is a part of the story he does not want to write...
Somebody did something.
California, land of fruits and nuts.
LOL, great law enforcement deduction.
I was hassled by a homeless man in downtown San Francisco at least 20 years ago. It was bad even then.
The bum followed me for a block demanding money until I turned around and told him I was going give him the worst beating of his life and that Inwould enjoy kicking his unconscious body. I don’t think he expected that because I was dressed in a suit and tie.
Yes, I took the tie off before confronting him because what idiot wants to be choked by his own clothes?
In the ‘80s, I lived across the street from Golden Gate Park out on the Avenues. Liked to walk through the park to the beach, a little over a mile away, sometimes with a dog, sometimes not. Then I’d have a walk on the beach. Very nice people there . Do not recall seeing homeless people then.
Today, apparently, a huge German Shepherd would not be enough, though Pasha would have taken anyone who accosted me to the ground.
SF was so beautiful then. Now I’m glad to live inland in a mostly Republican, mostly safe city. BUT we are expecting 300 refuges from Afghanistan, thanks to Catholic Charities.

Every American should watch the movie ‘Falling Down.”
I visited there in 1978 and stayed at the Young Men's Christian Association hotel, near Union Square, and a couple years later found a room at a hotel that must have survived the 1906 earthquake. It was still Baghdad by the Bay or Boston West, with its charm and bustle--and there were no bums living in tents. But that now seems like a galaxy far, far away, and I doubt that I'll ever set foot in that town again.
I remember visiting family there and it was unusual to see a bum. Last time I went it was worse then the slums of Mumbai. The Indians are kind and friendly. The bums of SF are nasty and violent.
That movie was made to ‘shame’ us whities that dared question ‘things’. Made Michael Douglas look like a loon and was a general poke in the eye of us.
“Catholic Charities”
A very anti-american group, and they make money with every refugee they handle. It’s a business not a charity.
solid hardwood stick, a knife, mace, wasp spray, and my favorite, a couple of heavy ball bearings ....
be prepared to act...if you don't want to act, then at least be prepared to run.
the leftist wanted the regular good Americans to be made fun of but the opposite happened...
people related to Archie more than Norman Lear intended, IMO of course...
That would be a start. But it won’t happen.
