SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF) — A San Francisco Rec and Park employee posted video on social media of a weekend encounter with an unmasked woman who approached with scissors in hand while going on a racist tirade.

The employee who was targeted with the abuse, a San Franciscan named Andrés Patino was doing outreach work with the San Francisco Rec and Park Department’s Love Dolores campaign when a woman approached who was not wearing face covering as mandated by city and state health orders.

The woman was holding a pair of scissors and, according to Patino, using them to cut down the signs blocking the playground in the park from public use due to the pandemic.

Patino decided to follow her and record video.

“She put on some yellow gloves, carrying some scissors. And ended up going towards the park and I was like, ‘Okay, that never looks good,'” Patino said.
