Surveillance video shows the terrifying moments for a San Francisco police officer Friday evening.
She was responding to a call about a man making racially motivated threats in Chinatown, only to be attacked by the man herself.
Multiple witnesses jumped in to save her.
One witness called 9-1-1 to report the man, identified by ABC7 News anchor Dion Lim as Geraldo Contreras.
He was allegedly making threats the day before, saying he “specializes in killing Asian people.”
Video shows the Asian female officer approach Contreras, tell him to turn around and put his hands on his head.
He obliged, but when the officer asked if he had any weapons in his possession, he turned around, shoved her and wrestled with her before pushing her to the ground. She was carrying a bean bag gun across her back, but was clearly unable to reach for it.
