Court documents cited by the DA indicate that officers responded at 1:44 p.m. on Sept. 23 to a stabbing on a Muni bus. Hopkins, the DA said, was involved in an encounter with two women riding the bus.
The victim boarded the bus and heard the women yelling at Hopkins to get away and stop staring at them. The victim then got between Hopkins and women.
Hopkins, the DA said, continued to try and get past the victim to get to the woman. He could not. It was then that he allegedly drew a box cutter with the blade exposed and suddenly and repeatedly swung it at the victim's neck and throat.
San Francisco Police Department officers located Hopkins nearby and arrested him. He is scheduled to be arraigned Monday.
The investigation remains active, according to the DA.
