Overview

  • Prosecutors say Lien accelerated into a crowd on Market Street during the June 14 'No Kings' march, striking and dragging a 69-year-old man onto his Tesla’s hood.
  • The victim suffered a large forehead gash and two broken toes after Lien braked sharply and then accelerated away, authorities reported.
  • On June 18, Lien pleaded not guilty to felony counts of elder abuse, assault with a deadly weapon and hit-and-run.
  • A judge denied Lien bail, and he remains in custody ahead of a June 23 bail review hearing.
  • Organizers staged the 'No Kings' demonstration against President Trump and ICE immigration raids, and San Francisco’s mayor described the statewide protests as overwhelmingly peaceful.
