Austin James Vincent, the man accused of attacking a woman as she attempted to enter her waterfront condo this month, will have charges dropped Wednesday in connection with a second incident in February, the San Francisco district attorney’s office confirmed.

Vincent’s attorney says his client wasn’t in San Francisco at the time of the February attack and will ask the judge Wednesday to release Vincent from jail and back into a pretrial diversion program.

San Francisco Superior Court Judge Christine Van Aken ordered Vincent into a supervised release program this month as he awaited trial on charges of false imprisonment, attempted robbery and two counts of battery connected to the alleged Aug. 11 attack on Paneez Kosarian. Kosarian said Vincent talked about saving the world from robots during the attack. In court, his attorney has said Vincent was “at a point of crisis” during the Embarcadero attack, and emphasized that the only other offense on his rap sheet was a 2014 conviction for petty theft. He’s pleaded not guilty to the charges from the Aug. 11 incident.

Van Aken’s decision to release Vincent sparked an uproar, largely due to the widely circulated and harrowing video of the attack, in which Kosarian struggles with Vincent and is thrown to the ground. At a subsequent hearing, Van Aken said she had not seen the video when she released Vincent and was “alarmed at the level of violence” the video showed. In response, she ordered Vincent to wear an ankle monitor.

Vincent surrendered to police three days later after police issued an arrest warrant in connection with the February incident. A group of people claimed Vincent ran at them with a knife as they waited for a ride-hailing car outside a SoMa restaurant. The victims called police this month after seeing Vincent’s mug shot, but did not file a police report at the time of the incident.

Vincent’s attorney at the San Francisco public defender’s office said he was able to prove that Vincent was in Southern California at the time of the February incident. Vincent’s lawyer filed a motion to have the February charges dropped, and he will ask the judge Wednesday to return Vincent to the pretrial release program, where he will be able to come and go freely but be required to report regularly to a case worker.

“I received word from the DA today that they were able to corroborate the information I submitted in the bail motion, and have indicated that they plan to throw out the charges tomorrow,” Saleem Belbahri, Vincent’s attorney, said in a statement.

The district attorney’s office will again argue to keep Vincent behind bars as he awaits trial for the Embarcadero attack. Van Aken’s decision Wednesday on whether to keep him in custody will be closely scrutinized.

That Vincent was in Southern California at the time of the February incident “has been confirmed by the San Francisco Police Department,” said Alex Bastian, a spokesman for the district attorney’s office.

“As a result, we will be dropping those charges. However, the defendant continues to face charges in connection with the incident from earlier this month. We will once again ask that he remain in custody,” Bastian said.
