A Wednesday night aggravated assault in SoMa turned even more bizarre by Thursday morning, as the suspect in the attack fled to the Bay Bridge, allegedly wandered into traffic while throwing cones and screaming, and threatened suicide.

The strange situation began at 10:41 p.m. Wednesday, when police say that a 22-year-old man attacked a 22-year-old woman at Main and Howard Streets.

According to a report from the San Francisco Police Department, the suspect "tackled [the victim] to the ground and refused to let her go."

While on top of the woman, police say that the suspect also bit the woman on the arm.

Witnesses to the attack pulled the man off the woman, and the suspect fled on foot. He reappeared, police say, on the Bay Bridge at 11:08 p.m., when California Highway Patrol spokesperson Officer Victor Ruiz says they started getting calls about a man running into traffic on the bridge's lower deck.

According to Ruiz, the man was "jogging towards cars," screaming, and throwing traffic cones into the road. When officers arrived, Ruiz says, they tried to corral him, to no avail.

“We stopped traffic and officers got out of their cars and responded to the pedestrian. He wasn’t listening,” Ruiz told the Chron, saying that one officer tried to Tase the agitated man “but it didn’t connect.”

Ruiz says that the man then took off running toward Treasure Island, then climbed over the ends of the bridge and perched on a beam below, "threatening to kill himself," according to the SFPD.

CHP then called SFPD's hostage negotiation team, members of the which spoke with the man for the next several hours, until he surrendered at 5:30 a.m. Thursday. Shortly after the man's surrender, Ruiz says, the eastbound lanes to the bridge reopened, and the rush hour commute began.

According to the SFPD, the victim in the attack was transported to an area hospital for treatment of the bite wound she sustained in the attack. The man was also transported to the hospital, Ruiz says, for a psychiatric evaluation.

If someone you know exhibits warning signs of suicide: do not leave the person alone; remove any firearms, alcohol, drugs or sharp objects that could be used in a suicide attempt; and call the U.S. National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-273-TALK (8255) or take the person to an emergency room or seek help from a medical or mental health professional.
