Boe said he saw the homeless woman, who he said was "mentally ill" in a Facebook post, hit and push the person in front of him. Then, the woman "came for him like a ravenes [sic] animal."

Boe said he was not injured and proceeded to film a video of San Francisco police officers detaining the homeless woman.

On my way to work this morning and was attacked by a mentally ill homeless person. I watched this woman hit and push the person in front of me, then had my coworker I was walking with move to the other side of me for protection as we walked by. Then she came for me like a ravines animal. I'm ok! I had her arrested! This problem is getting so bad! What are your thoughts on this? Many people should not be on the streets! Where do they go? Trump said Gov Gavin Newsome isn't doing enough. Ok Trump! Let's do this then! Where's Mayor London Breed? This is a National issue and needs to be addressed! I'm tired of working my ass off to be harassed. My neighborhood is dirty dirty dirty! I see homeless shitting on the streets, peeing on Muni. This is all our issue and what do we do? Please share as this needs to start changing. Thoughts? #homelessness #KRON #CBSNews #mayorlondonbreed #presidentdonaldtrump
