British tourist stabbed in San Francisco mugging dies
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Police say a British tourist who was hospitalized for more than a month after being stabbed in the head during a robbery in San Francisco has died.
San Francisco Police Officer Albie Esparza says 48-year-old Paul Tam of Manchester died Thursday at San Francisco General Hospital, where he was taken after the Feb. 18 attack.
Esparza tells the San Francisco Chronicle (http://bit.ly/1XSWL9J) Tam was walking with his niece when he was attacked by a couple. Tam attempted to hold onto his messenger bag but was stabbed in the head by the male suspect. His niece was not injured.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Security video released by police shows the attacker chasing Tam onto a street, stabbing him while he's on the ground and taking his bag before running away.
Police have yet to make an arrest in the attack, which is now being investigated as a homicide.
