Law enforcement took statements from the victims, but the assailant has not yet been identified.
Life News reports that “Planned Parenthood allegedly has video surveillance of the area including the attacks, but it has been initially reported that they are unwilling to release the video or assist in the pending investigation.”
“40 Days for Life will always support and defend its vigilant and peaceful prayer volunteers,” Matt Britton, the General Counsel for 40 Days for Life, said in a statement. “As a former elected prosecutor, I have reviewed thousands of cases of violence, and anyone who would make such a brutal, vicious assault and robbery of an elderly, peaceful man should end up in the penitentiary where he can do no more harm.”

“The vicious attack against our elderly client is intolerable,” said Allison Aranda, Life Legal Senior Counsel and former Prosecutor of the Year. “We will pursue all legal avenues to see that justice is served and that the freedom to speak freely on the public sidewalk without threat of physical violence is protected no matter the message. As a former prosecutor, I trust that the San Francisco District Attorney’s office will pursue all legal charges against the perpetrator and bring him to justice.”
Planned Parenthood did not respond to a request from The Daily Caller News Foundation to comment on this incident.
