SAN FRANCISCO, CA — A San Francisco man has been charged for allegedly punching someone for no reason in the Castro, the District Attorney's Office said Tuesday.
Andrew Davais, 34, is charged with one count of assault with force likely to cause great bodily injury, prosecutors said.
On Sunday just after 6 p.m., Davais allegedly walked up to a man who was standing with his wife at Castro and Market streets, "wound his arm back and then punched" the man without provocation, prosecutors said.
