POSTED: 10:01 pm PDT August 29, 2006
SAN FRANCISCO -- Authorities in San Francisco said the driver of a sport utility vehicle targeted pedestrians with his vehicle on Tuesday, killing one man in Fremont and injuring at least 13 others.
Police said he drove on sidewalks, streets, and hit people in crosswalks.
The man was finally arrested when police boxed him in with their cruisers around 1 p.m. near the Presidio after he struck people in 12 different locations around the city.
The driver's name was not immediately released, but Department of Motor Vehicles records show the license plate on the SUV registered to Omeed A. Popal, of Fremont.
An aide to the mayor who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the open investigation said Popal was the suspect in custody.
The spree began around noon in Fremont, where an unidentified man walking along the side of the road was hit by a black Honda SUV. He was thrown into a field and pronounced dead at the scene.
