San Francisco police are looking for a man who has been accused of yelling anti-Chinese expletives while throwing eggs at Asian passengers on a Muni bus last week.
The incident, which rider Michelle Young (@UntappedMich) caught on video and shared on Twitter, reportedly occurred on the 38 bus near Geary and Divisadero Streets on Thursday.
“San Francisco @BART just now. Guy with lots of eggs came on and starting yelling to me and the Asian girl next to me, ‘stupid Chinese b*tch,’” Young, who was visiting from New York, wrote.
