A man faces a decade in prison after being convicted of assaulting two women in San Francisco's South of Market neighborhood in 2021, prosecutors said.
District Attorney Brooke Jenkins' office announced Thursday that a jury found 29-year-old Javon Knighten guilty of assault with a deadly weapon, assault with force likely to produce great bodily injury, possession of a concealed dagger and resisting or delaying an officer.
The charges stem from an October 26, 2021 incident in the area of Mission and Steuart streets. According to testimony at trial, Knighten tackled one of the victims as she was walking past him. Knighten was arrested by police on the 200 block of Market Street after initially resisting, according to prosecutors.
