A Chinese citizen who crashed his car into the Chinese consulate in San Francisco on Oct. 9 appeared to slash at a policeman with a knife as they scuffled before the officer shot him dead, newly released video of the confrontation showed on Thursday.
In addition to recovering the weapon seen wielded by the suspect - a folding knife with a 3-1/2-inch blade - officers also found a loaded crossbow with arrows in the backseat of the man's vehicle, police said.
San Francisco Police Chief William Scott said the deceased suspect, Zhanyuan Yang, 31, was a Chinese national. He made no mention of Yang's immigration status or whether he had any connection to the consulate. A department spokeswoman said she was not at liberty to answer those questions. The only weapons recovered from the scene, police said, were the knife and crossbow, which somewhat resembled a rifle.
