Fox News Saturday heard from multiple law enforcement sources that an 11-yearold boy and three other young suspects were involved in the brutal attack against a 70-yearold Asian woman in San Francisco.
Although the vicious attack was caught on video, no suspects were taken into custody.
According to authorities, a Black boy aged 11 years was active in the event as well as a Black girl aged 13.
In the Anza Vista neighborhood, a 14-year-old Black girl is seen punching the woman in her head.
An 18-year-old Black man is also wanted.
Two other suspects were also allegedly involved in a series of robberies. They were reportedly captured in Oakland, California.
Fox News was told by an anonymous source that even if the juveniles were caught, their identities would remain secret.
The only person who could be charged in this case is the 18-year-old.
They think they can do it and get away with it. They can. They’ve been doing it. They’ve been doing it for years. And if they aren’t, who is going to do something about it?” The source asked.
According to Fox News, the San Francisco Police Department did not confirm any updates. They cited an ongoing investigation.
“They used their fists multiple times to hit me on the head and then they pulled my down and kept kickin’ me,” the elderly woman, identified only as Mrs. Ren, said to KGO last week via an interpreter.

Fearing COVID-19 her daughter declared Sunday to be the first day Mrs. Ren left home.
The juveniles were asked to give their time and the assault took place in the hallway of the apartment complex.
She refused the offer of her iPhone 7 to group members, and attempted to escape to an adjacent elevator.
According to the station: “They got really crazy and pulled me down.”
Footage clearly shows that she tried to flee to the hallway, but couldn’t close the door.
The suspects returned to her and stole her keys, continuing the attack.
“I didn’t expect this to happen to me, even though I saw a lot reporting,” Mrs. Zheng, the daughter, said.
Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, anti-Asian hate crimes have been increasing in the area and across the country.
The family hopes the story will be a cautionary tale for others in the area.
