An unidentified man at the SFSU Bookstore was taken down by SF State police causing a disruptive scene, according to witnesses on April 2.
“He was ranting in the bookstore and then he went outside and started yelling at the vendors,” said Shane Papatolics, 33, an education major who was in the bookstore.
Another SF State student witness, Colleen Nanry, communications major, saw the man dragged on the ground face first. “[He was] absolutely not resisting,” said Nanry.
SF State Police Officer Joe Mora said the man “was yelling at people and causing a disturbance.”
The man suffered a cut to his head and was sent to San Francisco General Hospital, said Captain Jun Takashi of the SF State police.
According to Takashi, the SFSU bookstore will be pressing charges.
