Prosecutors in San Francisco said they will drop some of the charges against a homeless suspect who’s been accused of two attacks in the city.
Austin Vincent is accused of attacking a woman as she returned to her condo on Beale Street this month, but he's no longer suspected of brandishing a knife and threatening a group of people in February.
Authorities charged Vincent for the supposed knife encounter when a woman who was in the threatened group on Brennan Street claimed to recognize him from his booking photo from the attack on the woman who was trying to enter her building.
The district attorney's office has since determined, however, that Vincent was in Southern California at the time the woman said Vincent approached the group with a knife.
The knife incident charges are expected to be dismissed on Wednesday. Prosecutors will seek to keep Vincent in custody for the charges from the Beale Street case, which was recorded in a widely seen surveillance video.
