"It doesn't surprise me because San Francisco is kind of getting that way, too many people on the street a little psychotic," San Francisco resident William Hall told KGO-TV.

"I don't know what the solution is. I know it's an issue and I carry pepper spray all the time," Hall added.

Police haven't released the suspect's name. He's facing two counts of attempted homicide, assault with a deadly weapon and resisting arrest, KGO reported.
