SFPD approve release of video of woman's death after separate recent assault

SAN FRANCISCO - The San Francisco police chief has given the go to release video showing what led up to the death of a woman in the city.

In July of last year, 63-year-old Yanfang Wu died from her injuries after police say she was pushed to the ground in the Bayview neighborhood by 43-year-old Thea Hopkins.

No arrests were made as officers initially said it was an accident.

But then last week, police arrested Hopkins for violently assaulting a 71-year-old Chinese woman.

Upon hearing that news, activists in the Asian community demanded police re-open the case from last summer.

This weekend, Mayor London Breed met with members of the city's Asian American community.
