“On Wednesday, May 12, 2021, at approximately 10:30 a.m., San Francisco Police officers from Central Station were flagged down on the 200 block of Powell Street regarding an aggravated assault. Officers located a 34-year-old male victim stabbed in the face. Officers rendered medical aid and summoned medics to the scene. Witnesses told officers that the suspect approached the victim and asked for money. The victim told the suspect he did not have any money. The suspect began yelling, produced a knife and cut the victim on his face. The suspect immediately fled the scene on foot. The victim was taken to a local hospital where he is being treated for non-life-threatening injuries.

The SFPD disseminated a crime alert bulletin to police officers and the general public.

On Wednesday, May 12, 2021, at approximately 7:35 P.m., San Francisco Police officers from Ingleside Station responded to the area of Alemany Boulevard and Justin Drive for a report of a subject matching the description of the suspect in the aggravated assault standing near a bus stop. Officers arrived on the scene and located the suspect who was identified as 38-year-old Ryan Baker with no listed address. Baker was taken into custody without incident. Officers met with the 9-1-1 caller who told them that he had viewed the crime bulletin on the SFPD Facebook page and recognized the suspect. The caller maintained visual contact of the suspect and stayed on the phone with dispatch until police arrived.
