Suspect arrested after throwing Molotov cocktail at Sam Altman's San Francisco home, OpenAI says
Police said the suspect is a 20-year-old man and charges are pending as investigators examine two linked incidents, including a fire at Altman’s home.
- San Francisco police arrested a suspect after a Molotov cocktail was thrown at the Russian Hill home of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman early Friday, with the same individual also making threats at the company's San Francisco headquarters.
- Investigators determined that an unknown man had thrown an 'incendiary destructive device' at the property, igniting an exterior gate before fleeing on foot from the North Beach area near Altman's residence.
- Roughly an hour later, SFPD responded to a business on the 1400 block of 3rd Street regarding an unknown male subject threatening to burn down the building.
- Officers recognized the male to be the same suspect from the earlier incident and detained him at the scene; charges are pending as the investigation remains active.
- In a statement, OpenAI confirmed the company 'deeply appreciate how quickly SFPD responded' and is cooperating fully with law enforcement to ensure employee safety.
