A 24-year-old Daly City man has been arrested in connection with a mid-April incident in which he allegedly punched a woman who was working the door at the bar Midnight Sun in the Castro neighborhood.As the Bay Area Reporter reports, San Francisco police arrested 24-year-old Vaizzah Taito of Daly Ci ty last week, booking him on one count of misdemeanor battery in connection with an April 18 incident at Midnight Sun.In that incident, doorperson Calliope Solis, 35, said she was violently punched by Taito at around 10:50 pm when she refused to allow him into the bar — based on previous experience with his behavior.Solis previously described the situation to the Bay Area Reporter, saying that Taito approached the door at the bar with two women, while she was checking IDs and taking cover charges. Solis did not know Taito's name, but she said she had met him through a mutual acquaintance, and about two years earlier he had grabbed her by the hair at The Edge when she refused to answer questions he was asking her about someone they both knew."I … said, 'You are not welcome here and you know why,'" Solis tells the BAR. "The girl [he was with] asks me, ‘Why isn’t he allowed in?’ so I [turned my] focus to her and said, 'He knows why.' As I’m saying that, he lunges around her and punches me in the face. I took a second to recoil, and by that time, he had already sprinted away."Solis reported the incident to police, and she told the BAR that she had alerted other people working in the neighbhorhood to be aware that Taito could be violent."I have been living in San Francisco for eight years, and the longer I’ve lived here, the more I’ve gotten involved in nightlife, one way or another. A lot of people know me, so when I decided to take the job at Midnight Sun, I never thought something like this would happen," Solis said."As a trans woman, I assumed I would be protected and people wouldn’t think to harm me, but it happened," Solis added. "It’s devastating, and I’m angry, and I would like him to be held accountable."She now tells the BAR that she is glad an arrest was made.Dave Burke, who works in the office of Board of Supervisors President Rafael Mandelman, said to the BAR, "I want to thank the Midnight Sun for their persistence and cooperation in this matter. Violence has no place in the Castro, and it won’t be tolerated."Taito reportedly made a court appearance on Thursday, May 28, and agreed to return on his own recognizance for a hearing on June 18.This incident follows an unrelated incident of violence in the Castro neighborhood on May 18, in which a man with a pro-Charlie Kirk message on his vehicle allegedly assaulted a resident and sprayed a hateful message in graffiti outside a flower shop. No arrest has yet been made in that case.Related: Man In SUV With Pro-Charlie Kirk Message Allegedly Tags Gay-Owned Castro Florist With Hateful Graffiti ...read more read less
