San Francisco police spokesman Sgt. Neville Gittens said the attacks in the city occurred at 12 locations over a 20-minute period.

"The hits were intentional,'' he said, noting that police are treating them as assaults.

Gittens had no information about a possible motive.

Popal was arrested after patrol cars boxed in his black Honda SUV, its windshield and right front headlight smashed, outside a Walgreens store on Spruce Street between California and Mayfair in the Laurel Heights area.

Of course this being San Francisco he'll probably be let off on a technicality or forgiven for his crimes with 6 months probation.

Darleen at Darleen's Place points out that the incidents appeared to occur in mostly Jewish areas and by the drivers name he appears to be Muslim, but this is all speculation so far.
