Taser-Wielding Gang Robs Woman Waiting At Powell BART Platform

Taser-Wielding Gang Robs Woman Waiting At Powell BART Platform

A group of seven people robbed a woman of her cell phone Sunday night as she waited inside the supposed safety of a San Francisco BART station.

The crime occurred at 10:55 p.m. on the platform at the Powell Street BART Station, according to the San Francisco Police Department. Police say that a gang of seven people — four men and three women — approached the 49-year-old female victim as she waited on the platform for her train to arrive.

Members of the group forcibly pulled her phone from her hand, police say, as one "brandished a Taser" and others pushed and shoved the victim.

The suspects then fled the BART station on foot, according to the SFPD. They remain at large as of publication time, and no arrests have been made in the case.
