SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Police say three children ranging in age from 11 to 14 and an 18-year-old beat and robbed a 70-year-old Asian woman who was attacked last month inside her San Francisco apartment building. San Francisco Police Chief Bill Scott announced Monday that two of them have been arrested. He called the age of the younger suspects sad and shocking. The woman was outside her building when the suspects approached her on July 31 and spoke to her. Unable to understand them because of a language barrier, she went into the building’s lobby. Police say the suspects followed her and beat and robbed her. The attack was recorded by surveillance video.
