Great sketch! So, we're looking for a shady black man in a hoodie. Piece of cake!

In Noe Valley finding a black man who stands out would be a piece of cake . . .

Anonymous #2, given where these attacks took place it is more likely this guy is from The Mission than Noe Valley. Technically, these attacks took place in The Mission, not Noe Valley. But hey, let's question every black guy living in Noe Valley...because that's a sure-fire way to solve this crime and reduce discrimination.

Yes, but in the second attack it sounds like he was coming from Noe Valley and walking toward the Mission so it is a good idea to be vigilant everywhere

Dear Noe Valley SF: I am really looking forward to the day that I will not have to open this blog and see this satan's mug. Geez--! How about a picture of the 21st Street (just below Sanchez) Christmas House for some cheer? P.S.Maybe somebody out there can take the photo and send it to these blogger(s) Thanks.

This morning around about 7am Dec26 I called 911 to report a very suspicious man walking were the first crime occurred. Man was 6ft tall, medium build, baggy pants and a walking pattern just like the video. The part that was easy for me to call the police was that this man was on foot heading south bound on potrero ave at 25st. I called the police, it took 25min for them to even show up. They say this man was coming from general hospital. But I say the night of the assault he was at the hospital probably for drug abuse. The officer told me i made a very good description of the man, I only hope they went as far as taking a picture of him to show to the victims of this case. Its was very sad to see how long the police took to respond to my call.

I had a similar interaction with the police. Encountered individual who resembled the description/images. Called 911 and was admonished by operator "and you're calling 911 for this?". The SFPD called me back about 40 mins later to hear more details. Disappointing and discouraging that communication with the community appears to be an issue.

well i believe that the police is no good when it comes to these things. I wish i could speak to victim of this case. I live right infront of where the first incident happen. every once an awhile ill go out to check everything and see the every day people that catch the bus to work. I always see this one person thats inconsipicous. He walks like he comes from a hike, he never catches the bus and he walks just like the vedio. And if that aint enough for you, i believe hes wearing the same shoes from the video. this man walks from 24st all the way down to bayshore. Why not catch the bus i say? I really believe it in my heart this is the man the police is looking for. Not becuase hes black, but because hes 6ft medium build, walks like he's tough and walks as if he loves it. I believe he's wearing the same clouthing since the day it occured. If the victim of this case is reading this comment. Please reach out when your ready and lets catch this punk. I believe potrero ave is his every day walk, i believe its his favorite hwy, his routine.

I believe this man is on drugs, i will try to act like ill sell him some and see how he responds
