  • Pretty toes ... ugly scene

A routine pedicure turned into a not-so-relaxing scene over the weekend when a group of armed robbers busted into a Cow Hollow nail salon and held up the patrons.

Police say customers were inside the salon on the 2700 block of Octavia on Friday evening when a group of three to five robbers entered the business with guns in hand.

Officer Albie Esparza says the armed group robbed customers before fleeing the salon.

Not long after the robbers bolted, the cops spotted the suspect vehicle and chased the car all the way to Ninth and Mission streets where the robbers reportedly crashed into other cars nearby. The suspects hopped out of their vehicle and ran into nearby buildings and alleyways, attempting to hide from authorities, Esparza says.

Two suspects were arrested on Friday night; police closed off surrounding streets to search for the outstanding suspects.

Three people were injured in the chaos, but are expected to survive.

Anyone with information on this incident is asked to contact SFPD anonymously at 415-575-4444 or text-a-tip to TIP411 with SFPD at the start of the message.

  • clipping at Brava Theater Sept. 11
    Sub Pop recording artists 'clipping.' brought their brand of noise-driven experimental hip hop to the closing night of 2016's San Francisco Electronic Music Fest this past Sunday. The packed Brava Theater hosted an initially seated crowd that ended the night jumping and dancing against the front of the stage. The trio performed a set focused on their recently released Sci-Fi Horror concept album, 'Splendor & Misery', then delved into their dancier and more aggressive back catalogue, and recent single 'Wriggle'. Opening performances included local experimental electronic duo 'Tujurikkuja' and computer music artist 'Madalyn Merkey.'"
