Suspect vandalized, carjacked, and then attempted to run over SFFD medics
On August 29, 2022, at approximately 6:55 a.m., San Francisco Police Officers assigned to Mission Station responded to the area of 1700 Harrison Street on a report of an unknown male breaking into a San Francisco Fire Department (SFFD) ambulance.
Upon arrival, officers met with the two SFFD paramedics who stated that the male suspect used a wooden object to smash the windows of the ambulance while they were sitting inside of it. After both victims exited the ambulance for safety, the suspect was able to gain access to the ambulance, and then attempted to run the paramedics over. The suspect then abandoned the ambulance and fled on foot.
The SFPD General Work unit took over the investigation. SFPD CSI officers gathered forensic evidence on scene and analyzed it. With SFPD CSI’s assistance, investigators developed information that identified 33-year-old Francisco Vargas-Osario as the suspect. Investigators developed probable cause to obtain an arrest warrant for Vargas-Osario and disseminated the information through a department-wide email.
