Arrest made after molotov cocktail attack at Sam Altman's residence

On April 10, 2026, a 20-year-old individual was arrested in San Francisco following an attack on the residence of Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI. The suspect allegedly threw a molotov cocktail at the entrance gate of Altman’s home in the North Beach neighborhood, which started a fire. No injuries were reported, and it remains unclear if Altman was inside the property during the incident. Following the attack, the suspect fled on foot. Approximately one hour later, police responded to a report near the OpenAI headquarters in the Mission Bay district. There, the same individual allegedly threatened to set fire to the building. Officers identified the man from the earlier incident and took him into custody. The identity of the suspect has not been publicly released by authorities.
