This 70-year old man was approached by a crying young man in an SUV on 42nd Avenue Wednesday morning around 9:40. The man in the car asked the elder to use his phone.⠀The 70-year old man’s wife told me she realized the younger man wasn’t making a call & seemed to be installing something on her husband’s phone. She intervened and asked for the phone back.⠀During their attempt to get the phone back the man floored the SUV, dragging the couple down the block. She allowed me to record our conversation so others can be aware of what happened. ⠀Neighbors provided this and other videos to SFPD to use in their investigation. The Special Victims Unit says this tactic isn’t unheard of but haven’t seen it as a trend recently. Anyone with info is asked to call police.
