Mission Dolores Park's annual hill bomb has been an unofficial, illicit phenomenon among the Bay Area skateboard community since as early as 2016. However, the event has resulted in several major injuries and at least one death over the years.
More than a hundred people – most of them minors – were arrested or cited on Saturday at the controversial and unofficial Mission Dolores Park"hill bomb," which draws throngs of spectators annually to watch skaters speed down The City's hilly streets.
While the sergeant attempted to detain the teenaged boy, a 15-year-old girl"tried to interfere" with the arrest, according to the SFPD. The sergeant suffered lacerations on his face and was taken to a hospital with non-life threatening injuries following the altercation. Mission Local reported officers in riot gear corralled and zip tied the group of mostly young congregants before placing them onto two Muni busses to be taken to Mission Police Station, located about two blocks away from Mission Dolores Park. The outlet also reported many of the teenagers were kept on the busses for several hours and were not released to their parents until the early morning hours of Sunday.
