San Francisco police are asking for the public’s help in finding a person who pushed a mother carrying her baby.

It’s an incident that left the woman badly injured. 

It happened Sunday night in Noe Valley. 

It was just after 6 p.m. near the corner of 28th and Sanchez Streets.

Officers responded to a call of a woman bleeding from the head.

The victim, a 37-year-old woman who was carrying her 6-month old strapped in a baby carrier. 

The baby was not injured. 

The woman, who suffered a deep laceration, didn’t remember much about what happened.

Police say her injury was life-threatening. 

The victim still had her purse, her wallet, and her phone, so at this point it does not appear to be an attempted robbery. 

Police are now looking for anyone who saw what happened or any surveillance video to show who could have done this.

Noe Valley is a neighborhood with lots of families, many with small children. 

Those who live here say they’re shocked.

“It’s kind of unheard of we do live in a city so city stuff happens but this is a pretty quiet sleeping neighborhood full of families babies and dogs, it’s scary,” said one person. “At 6 o’clock this street is popular and people walk up and down the street all the time.”

A friend of the victim who didn’t want to go on camera says the victim is recovering, and that her doctors say the fracture she suffered isn’t just from the fall. 

She says it’s scary to think someone would attack a mother with her baby.

Anyone with information is asked to call the San Francisco Police Department’s anonymous tip line at 415-575-4444.
