Another incident of roommate-on-roommate violence broke out in the Tenderloin on rent day yesterday. Five months after our last cohabitation conflagration, a 56-year-old suspect slashed his roommate after the (alleged) deadbeat refused to pay his share of the rent.
The victim received a couple cuts to his arm, the Examiner reports, although we don't know whether the weapon was a knife or just some other sharp object lying around the communal living space. In a bizarre twist, the rent collector/suspect was the one who ended up fleeing the Ellis Street apartment. No word yet on whether he has been arrested or if the pair made up during a house meeting.
One detail all these roommate fights seem to have in common? The suspects and victims are all way too old to be living with a roommate they're not sleeping with.
