The San Francisco District Attorney on Monday charged a 24-year-old man with assault and battery charges following the attack of a former fire commissioner with a metal pipe in the Marina District, while his attorney said it's likely a case of self-defense.
"I understand how a violent attack like this can shake a community and I am committed to ensuring that the defendant is held accountable, so that we send the strongest message that violence like this is unacceptable," DA Brooke Jenkins said in a statement. "I am sending strength to the victim as he continues his recovery, and we will do everything in our power to seek justice for the victim and the community that has been traumatized.
Doty is being represented by the Public Defender's Office, where his attorney, Kleigh Hathaway, said outside court that the young man possibly acted out in self-defense.
