A stabbing call in San Francisco’s Sunnydale neighborhood turned into a messy arrest Tuesday night.

One officer was injured during the response, and the woman ended up in jail on multiple charges. (cbsnews.com) ### Where did this happen? The scene was a home on the 1500 block of Sunnydale Avenue in the city’s Ingleside area. Officers were sent there just before 10 p.m. on Tuesday, April 28, 2026, after a report of a stabbing. When they got there, they found a man with what police described as an apparent stab wound. (cbsnews.com) ### What did police say they found?

Police identified the suspect only as a 22-year-old woman. She was taken into custody after officers coordinated a plan to arrest her because, police said, she would not comply with commands. San Francisco police have not publicly released her name in the reporting available so far. (cbsnews.com) ### What charges is she facing? She was booked into San Francisco County Jail on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, three counts of battery on a peace officer, and resisting or delaying arrest.

(cbsnews.com) ### How badly were people hurt? Police said both the stabbed man and the injured officer suffered non-life-threatening injuries. That matters, because the first question in any case like this is whether it became a homicide investigation or a critical-officer-injury case.

Yes — police said the woman and the victim were known to each other, and that the stabbing happened after an altercation. Basically, investigators are framing this as a dispute between people with some prior connection, not a random attack on a stranger. That does not make it less serious, but it does shape how the case will likely be investigated and charged. (cbsnews.com) ### What still isn’t clear? A lot, actually. Police have not said what started the altercation, what the relationship was between the two people, or how the officer was injured. They also have not released court details yet in the reporting surfaced so far, so it is not clear whether formal charges have been filed by prosecutors beyond the initial jail booking.
