S.F. Mayor Breed tries to quell safety concerns over navigation center in wake of attack

San Francisco Mayor London Breed  acknowledged Aug. 16 that mental illness is one the biggest challenges the city is facing, in light of a recent attack by a homeless man that was captured on surveillance video and received widespread media coverage.

Earlier last week, Judge Christine Van Aken caused outrage when she allowed the release of Austin James Vincent, charged with attempted robbery, false imprisonment and two counts of battery for the Aug. 11 attack on a woman as she entered her Beale Street apartment complex.
