SFPD Releases Photos of Two People of Interest in Early-February Marina Assault

Two victims with extensive injuries walked into the SFPD Northern District station after an early-morning attack in the Marina, and the department has released surveillance photos of two people of interest as investigators pursue tips. The victims were hospitalized after the assault, which the department described in a public post under the headline “SFPD Seeking Public’s Assistance in Locating People of Interest involved in an Aggravated Assault.”

SFPD’s account places the first contact on the 3100 block of Fillmore Street, where the victims were “standing in front of a business” before a confrontation. “After a brief verbal altercation with the subjects, the victims walked away,” said SFPD. The department reported the attackers then reappeared about three blocks away on the 2000 block of Union Street, where “Soon after, the subjects approached the victims again on the 2000 block of Union Street and physically assaulted them.”

San Francisco police confirmed the two people who sought help entered the Northern District station to report the incident on February 8, 2026. Multiple local outlets quoted SFPD language that both victims sustained “extensive” or “significant” injuries and required hospitalization; no further medical details or victim names have been released. The department’s public post reiterates that “This case remains an open and active investigation by the San Francisco Police Department.”

Updated surveillance images are attached to the SFPD news release and credited as “Photo courtesy of SFPD,” but the department has not published names, ages, or demographic descriptions for the two people of interest. The public-facing release states plainly that “Investigators are seeking the public’s assistance in locating the people of interest in this case,” and the SFPD is asking residents to help identify the subjects shown in the attached photos.

Anyone who recognizes the people of interest or has information that can aid investigators is asked to contact SFPD at (415) 575-4444 or text TIP411, starting the message with ‘SFPD.’ Those are the exact tip instructions provided by police as the investigation remains open and no formal charges have been announced by the department or the district attorney’s office.

Local broadcasters noted the assault occurred during Super Bowl weekend when tourism surged in the city, a context that coincided with increased foot traffic in neighborhoods like the Marina. The department’s social-media push drew visible public reaction: a broadcast Instagram post tied to the coverage showed 322 likes and 51 comments, and an SFPD Facebook excerpt in media coverage displayed public replies including one comment reading “Jake Patterson — Looks like dudebros from The Marina.”

Key facts still missing for follow-up reporting include the identities of the victims, the number and descriptions of all attackers beyond the two people of interest, and whether formal charges will be filed. For now, investigators and the SFPD continue to press for tips and for anyone with information to call (415) 575-4444 or text TIP411 beginning with “SFPD” as the department works to locate the people shown in its released images.
