Authorities named the hawk "Eddy," after it was found at the 100 block of Eddy Street.
Officers were able to safely secure the hawk and transport it to Yggdrasil Urban Wildlife Rescue for treatment.
While it’s unclear the type of hawk Eddy is, Red-Tailed hawks are frequently seen flying over the Tenderloin, and are present in every neighborhood in the city, according to the San Francisco Department of the Environment. They can reach a speed of 120 miles per hour when diving through the air.
