A man accused of stabbing multiple people in San Francisco’s Richmond District last month has been arrested, police announced Wednesday.

Police said Joncarlo Gutierrez, 32, was booked into jail last Friday on suspicion of attempted murder and assault with a deadly weapon, three weeks after a mass stabbing injured five victims.

On Oct. 24 at 2:10 a.m. police officers responded to reports of a stabbing in the 3900 block of Geary Boulevard. Upon arrival, officers discovered five people suffering from apparent stab wounds, according to officials.

Authorities said four of the victims were taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, and the fifth victim was treated on scene for non-life-threatening injuries.

An investigation revealed that there was a verbal altercation between multiple people inside a business in the area. It turned violent when the suspect allegedly assaulted several people with a knife, according to police.

Officials said Gutierrez was identified as a suspect and police obtained an arrest warrant. He was located near the area of Richland Avenue and Mission Street and arrested by officers in plainclothes.

His bond has been set at $1 million. The San Francisco District Attorney’s Office has not yet announced charges against Gutierrez.

His next court date is scheduled for Dec. 4.

Although an arrest has been made, the investigation is still open. Anyone with information is asked to contact the San Francisco Police Department at 415-575-4444 or text a tip to TIP411 and begin the message with “SFPD.”
