Suspect held in deadly Muni stabbing in Bayview
The Brief A witness told KTVU the suspect had gotten into an argument with an older and younger man on the bus, took out a knife and stabbed the older man. The suspect got off the bus but was arrested by police on suspicion of murder, assault with a deadly weapon and elder abuse. The San Francisoc District Attorney's Office will review case. San Francisco - A man was stabbed to death while riding a Muni bus in San Francisco's Bayview, the second stabbing on the transit system in the same neighborhood in two months. The latest incident happened on a 9 San Bruno bus at Bayshore Boulevard and Cortland Avenue at about 4:30 p.m. Sunday. A witness who didn't want to go on camera told KTVU the suspect had gotten into an argument with an older and younger man on the bus and took out a knife. Both men tried to stop him. "And they held him down, hitting him with a belt buckle. The Latino guy happened to manage to get them both off, and from there that's when the knife came out," the witness said. The younger man got off the bus, but the suspect realized the older man was still on board. "And that's when the Latino (man), seeing that he was still sitting down when he actually grabbed the knife, just stabbed him right in his chest," he said. The victim died at a hospital. The suspect, Daniel Mendoza Garcia, 51, got off the bus but was arrested by police on suspicion of murder, assault with a deadly weapon and elder abuse. "It's nonsense. It's a waste of life. And it's just at a hair's trigger," the witness said. In a statement, Muni described the stabbing as a tragic and senseless act of violence. "Our hearts are with the victim and their loved ones," the statement said in part. "Criminal activity of any kind will never be tolerated on Muni, and we are committed to keeping the safety of our riders and staff as our top priority." Residents and Muni riders were shocked by the violence. "Obviously it's sad," said Mike Minardi, who lives nearby. "We've had our issues in this area, but I feel like, you know, it has gotten a little better in some regards." Temesghen Gebrezghi often takes two Muni lines to get to a recycling center near the crime scene. "I feel worried because it's very sad for this guy, you know? We don't need that," Gebrezghi said. Lydia Patubo is general manager of a garden center in the area. She said she's had issues with the proximity of the Muni bus shelter to her business, from public drunkenness to intruders. "They come in and we've had to chase them out," Patubo said. About seven or eight years ago, Patubo said she tried unsuccessfully to fight Muni's efforts to move the bus stop from a different corner to its current location. "This bus stop is a hub for homeless people, it's a urinal, it attracts criminals. When this bus stop was across the street, it's perfect. We had no trouble," she said. This is the second stabbing on Muni in the Bayview since March, when a teenage girl was stabbed on a Third Street light-rail vehicle. Two suspects were arrested in that case.

St Johnstone cup hero Brian Easton still has burning ambition for success with East Fife at 37
He has graced far higher stages with bigger prizes at stake, but Brian Easton's desire for success with East Fife burns as brightly as ever. Now 37, St Johnstone's 2014 Scottish Cup winner is a key figure in the experienced side put together by Dick Campbell at Bayview. Never mind his past 11 campaigns in the Scottish top-flight or a healthy six-figure move to Burnley in the English Premier League or silverware with Hamilton Accies, this is about the here and now. The Methil men travel for the second-leg of their League One play-off final against Annan Athletic with the advantage of a 3-2 victory on Tuesday night. And Easton is relishing the chance to finish the season on a high after the bitter disappointment of missing out to Peterhead in the League Two championship race. 'It's something I've really enjoyed this year, to be in that title challenge,' he told Courier Sport. 'I wanted that. 'I'd have loved to have won it. It meant so much to me to win it, and to the boys. 'But I've never been in a play-off final before. It's a chance to get promotion and that's something you want to keep doing. 'You want to be successful for as long as you can be. I'm really looking forward to it. 'If you'd said at the start of the season that this is where we'd be at this stage, I'm sure our boys would have been really happy with that. It's a great opportunity. 'We've worked so hard all season. We want it to be for something and we want the fans to enjoy a wee promotion. 'Hopefully, we can manage to get over the line. We're not under any illusion that it'll be a difficult game, but we're ready for it.' East Fife proved their credentials with their first-leg success against opponents from a higher division. Whilst the Bayview outfit won 20 of their 36 league games this term, Annan were beaten in as many matches. And, as the Fifers go for promotion, the Galabankies will fear relegation. 'It's only halfway there,' added Easton. 'We were 1-0 down against Edinburgh City after the first-leg of the semi-final and we didn't think the tie was over at all. 'They'll be fighting for their lives on Friday night and it's the exact same for us, really. 'But it's different pressures, isn't it? Obviously, we were a bit disappointed towards the end of the season when we didn't manage to win the league. 'So, I'm grateful for this opportunity to still try and get promotion. 'It's a different story when you're trying to avoid relegation. It's not a nice place to be, I've been there myself. 'It comes down to 90 minutes on Friday night and I'm sure both teams are going to be fighting hard.'

Dick Campbell dugout ban decision revealed ahead of East Fife's play-off final showdown
Dick Campbell has been cleared to lead East Fife into their League One play-off final decider, despite his red card in the first-leg against Annan Athletic. The Bayview boss has instead been hit with a Scottish FA notice of complaint and faces a disciplinary hearing during the close-season. Campbell was initially shown a yellow card in the closing stages of Tuesday's 3-2 victory in Methil. The 71-year-old later claimed referee Ross Hardie had taken umbrage at him throwing his 'bunnet' down when angered by a decision. Just seconds later, as he continued to remonstrate with the whistler and appeared to encroach onto the playing surface, Campbell was sent to the stand. The Fifers manager said after the game he expected to be banned from the dugout for Friday's second-leg at Galabank. However, Courier Sport has learned Campbell will not be suspended from the touchline for the showdown as he bids to steer his team to promotion to take the place of Annan in League One. That means he will also be able to deliver his pre-match messages in the dressing room, as well as take part in any immediate post-match celebrations should East Fife hang on to their slender advantage. Instead, due to previous misdemeanours, Campbell will face a June 5 hearing to determine his punishment. He has been accused of breaching the SFA's disciplinary rule 203, which states that 'no member of team staff shall commit misconduct at a match' and carries a lower-end censure of a two-match suspension. If found guilty, any subsequent ban will be applied to the start of next season.
