A man who was released from jail after allegedly attacking a woman outside her Embarcadero condo complex while talking about saving her from robots surrendered to San Francisco police Monday in connection with an earlier knife incident.

Investigators are looking into whether Austin James Vincent may be involved in two other criminal cases after victims came forward and said they recognized the 25-year-old’s mugshot publicized last week.

Vincent, accompanied by his attorney, turned himself in to San Francisco police on a $100,000 arrest warrant when he appeared for a 9 a.m. hearing in San Francisco Superior Court.

He was booked into San Francisco County jail. A motion filed by prosecutors to keep Vincent in jail will be heard Tuesday afternoon.

The new warrant for Vincent was obtained in connection with an alleged assault that occurred near Fourth and Brannan streets on Feb. 4. According to police, Vincent was armed with a knife when he approached a woman and several of her friends as they waited for a ride-hailing service.

Vincent allegedly made a threat to kill the woman and advanced on the group. The victims ran to their ride-hailing vehicle and left the city. Police responded but were unable to locate any of the involved parties, and the case sat dormant.

However, after Vincent’s booking photo was published last week — featuring a wide-eyed grin and stare — the Brannan Street victim contacted police.

After obtaining an arrest warrant Friday night for the incident, police began tracking Vincent, who was wearing a court-ordered ankle monitor and receiving treatment in a San Francisco residential facility.

Vincent’s attorneys arranged for him to surrender at his Monday court appearance.

“He takes this situation very seriously, and he’s taking his treatment very seriously,” said Deputy Public Defender Saleem Belbahri.

Vincent allegedly attacked 26-year-old Paneez Kosarian as she tried to enter the Watermark condominium lobby at 501 Beale St. early Aug. 11. Kosarian said Vincent appeared to be on drugs or suffering from psychosis when he accosted her, talking about robots taking over the world.

“He kept saying he wanted to help, saying that the lady in our lobby was a robot and that everyone else was a robot,” Kosarian said after the attack. Vincent said he would kill the female lobby attendant “so I can earn your trust,” Kosarian said.

The incident was caught on the lobby surveillance camera, which showed the attack just beyond the glass doors and a frantic security guard trying to help while on the phone.

Vincent pleaded not guilty at his initial court appearance on charges of false imprisonment, two counts of battery and attempted robbery.

Superior Court Judge Christine Van Aken came under fire from Mayor London Breed, Supervisor Matt Haney and others after she released Vincent pending his trial over the objections of the district attorney’s office.

After the furor, Van Aken held another hearing and said she had not seen the security video before releasing Vincent to a program that required him to undergo treatment and regularly check in with a case manager. Van Aken reversed course and ordered Vincent to wear an ankle monitor.

The controversy over the attack and Vincent’s release was seized upon by opponents of a homeless shelter under construction on the Embarcadero. It’s not clear whether Vincent is homeless; police have said only that he has no known local address.
