The San Francisco art gallery owner who sprayed a homeless woman with a hose was arrested Wednesday, according to the city’s top prosecutor.
San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins announced the misdemeanor battery charges against Collier Gwin for the incident which has gone viral. He appeared to direct a hose’s stream at a homeless woman’s face and chest last week while she sat on the sidewalk.
“The alleged battery of an unhoused member of our community is completely unacceptable. Mr. Gwin will face appropriate consequences for his actions,” Ms. Jenkins wrote in a statement on Twitter. “Likewise, the vandalism at Foster Gwin gallery is also completely unacceptable and must stop — two wrongs do not make a right.
