According to reports from NBC BayArea, a local branch of NBC, and KTVU television news channel under Fox Television in the United States, the incident occurred on March 5th local time. After being stabbed, the man immediately collapsed to the ground. Subsequently, shop owners nearby approached to help the victim. Some brought towels, others brought pillows, and some brought frozen dumplings because they didn't have ice to use for cold compresses on the wound.

Witnesses said that the victim and his companion spoke Mandarin and seemed unfamiliar with the local environment.
Soon after, local police and medical personnel arrived at the scene.
The above surveillance video came from a nearby store. The manager of the store, Rawnie Chan, said that on the afternoon of March 5th local time, she was working when she suddenly heard a scream and ran outside to see what happened. "Several women tried to stop the bleeding. Within about a minute, many police and ambulances arrived."
San Francisco police stated that the victim was urgently taken to a local hospital with life-threatening injuries. On the afternoon of March 6th local time, the victim was still receiving treatment in the hospital.
Local police said that about 10 minutes after the incident, they found the suspect. Del Gandio, a San Francisco police officer, said that the police arrested a 30-year-old Asian man, who was questioned with the assistance of a Chinese interpreter and was detained on suspicion of attempted murder. "We are not sure about the motive of the crime, but the suspect and the victim seem to be local community members."
Local police stated that it is currently unclear whether the suspect knew the victim, but this appears to be an isolated incident.
On March 6th local time, Brooke Jenkins, the district attorney of the San Francisco area, told the media that her office is working to ensure that the suspect is held accountable. "We must do more work to ensure there are enough police officers present. We cannot prevent everything, but once it happens, someone must be held responsible."
It is reported that the incident occurred as Chinatown and many areas of San Francisco were preparing for the Lunar New Year parade on March 7th. Local merchants and staff said that despite the attack, their neighborhood had been very safe recently.
