Henry Chan, the owner of the Chinatown Bakery, told Fox San Francisco he had followed Lai and told him to remain outside.
He said, “He didn’t flee. He just slowly walked away.”
The victim was an immigrant to Hong Kong who was transported to hospital with serious injuries. Lai is charged with attempted murder and assault with a dangerous weapon. He has also been charged with battery causing severe bodily injuries, false imprisonment, and second-degree theft.
