The man who crashed into the Chinese Consulate with his car in San Francisco, California, has died. Authorities say Zhanyuan Yang possessed a crossbow and arrows in his vehicle.
A man who crashed a car at the Chinese Consulate earlier this month had a crossbow and arrows and swung a knife at officers before a police sergeant killed him, San Francisco police said Thursday, offering the first official details of the attack. San Francisco police showed body camera footage from the officers who responded to the Oct. 9 attack on the consulate, which is in a residential neighborhood in the city.
Im said Yang then turned toward San Francisco Sergeant Troy Carrasco, who was the first to arrive on the scene, and a consulate security guard and made 'multiple, rapid, downward swinging motions with the knife' in their direction. Carrasco can be seen in body camera footage touching Yang’s back and asking 'Does he have a gun?' before Yang, who is rubbing his face with his left arm, turns toward Carrasco and the security guard and starts swinging a knife.
Why he showed up there, what he was doing, that’s still under investigation and there’s nothing that we have at this point that I can release,' Scott said. Sergii Molchanov was in line waiting for his turn to submit his visa documents when he said the blue Honda sedan barreled in through the main doors at full speed, barely missing him. Molchanov told The Associated Press that the car struck a wall and the driver was bleeding from his head as he got out of the car, yelling about the C.C.P.
consulate is a place of safety and refuge where people should not have to worry about acts of violence,' said Capt. Jason Sawyer on Thursday. 'This was a highly unusual event that could have easily involved many more casualties.' The San Francisco consulate has been targeted a number of times before. Among the most serious was a fire set by a Chinese man on New Year’s Day 2014 at the main entrance. It charred a section of the outside of the building.
