Man Trying To Sell Gold Watch Stabbed In San Francisco's Mid-Market
SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF) — A 20-year-old man was stabbed in the arm while trying to sell a gold chain in San Francisco's Mid-Market neighborhood Tuesday night.
The stabbing happened around 9:40 p.m. in the 1000 block of Market Street.

The suspect was described as a black man between 30 and 40 years old wearing a black beanie, a white T-shirt, a black jacket and black pants.
The victim's injuries were not believed to be to be life-threatening. Police were unclear what type of sharp object was used to stab the man.
