Officers in San Francisco arrested a man Sunday after an officer spotted him shooting a man in the city’s Tenderloin neighborhood, police said.

Around 5 p.m., a plainclothes officer near Golden Gate Avenue and Hyde Street saw the suspect fire a gun, striking the victim. But when officers responded to the scene, both the victim and suspect had fled.

Officers, however, were able to locate the victim and he was taken to a hospital with injuries not considered life-threatening, police said.
