2 people walking across Golden Gate Bridge hit by blow darts

SAN FRANCISCO — Two pedestrians were hit by blow darts while walking across the Golden Gate Bridge, authorities said.

An officer patrolling the bridge on bicycle was flagged down Friday by a man who had been hit in the leg, officials from the California Highway Patrol said.

The San Francisco Chronicle reported the 5-inch long dart had sunk about 2 inches into the man's skin.

Officials said that as emergency personnel were speaking with the man, a woman approached them and said she too had been hit by a blow dart in the knee. Both were evaluated by paramedics and released at the scene.

The California Highway Patrol has opened an investigation, and officers are looking for surveillance video of the attacks.
