each stabbed twice. the man in the face and shoulder areas the woman in the stomach area. officers say the boyfriend and girlfriend were taken to the hospital. they say there was a big fight on larkin and o'farrell where the couple was attacked. no known motive for the fight. the couple made their way to a corner market on larkin and ellis street and the store clerk saw they were bleeding, gave them napkins to put over their injuries before paramedics arrived. police say they are looking for multiple suspects but they have no description of the suspects or any getaway car. officers say there were a number of witnesses to the fight but they ran off. so they are still looking for witness information so they can identify suspects, get a description on the suspect car, people who are still out there they are they are looking for, the stabbers in this case. >> sharon chin live in san francisco, thank you. they are allowed to stay for at least now. native americans trying to block construction at a park in

vallejo will not be arrested. >> they have been there since friday on what they say is sacred ground. they could have been ticketed or even detained for spending several nights at glen cove waterfront park. but late last night, they won a small victory. no arrests but they will have to take down their tents because there is a strict no camping policy. the native americans are determined to stay at the park until the district agrees to keep the land as is. >> this is where our ancestors are buried. they rest in peace and they want to disturb that peace and we can't allow that as indigenous people of this country. >> we will be here until the situation is resolved. >> the recreation district -- >> we will be here until the situation is resolved. >> the recreation district still plans to construct a paved parking lot and public bathroom. a young fremont man is dead after falling from a cliff in santa cruz. police say the 22-year-old man

got too close to the cliffside along westcliffe drive last night. he died after plunging 25 feet onto a rock ledge below. he was with two friends at the time. they weren't hurt. police believe drugs or alcohol may have been a factor. neighbors say it is a dangerous area. >> this is a marvel. it's wonderful. but it also has its risks. these signs are very clear about the, you know, the peril of this. >> the name of the victim hasn't been released. doctors plan to keep injured giants fan bryan stow under sedation for at least another week to let his brain heal. stow's medication was originally lowered last friday in the hopes he could be brought out of his medically- induced coma but he soon began experiencing seizures and the sedation was resumed. one positive sign though stow's family says he is showing signs of brain activity. new this morning, there is a good chance that caltrain will keep stations open and the

trains running. board members hinted they have a plan to keep the transit agency alive for another year, although passengers may have to pay more. the "mercury news" reports details of the plan haven't been released. but it could be approved as early as thursday. this morning there is talk of a possible strike vote at muni. while contract talks continue, two flyers are calling for a strike vote. the publicist for muni management is providing the media with a flyer he calls inflammatory that claims that the city has plenty of money and muni salary and pensions aren't the problem. the union says it did not put out that flyer but it did put out another paper that calls for a strike authorization vote. the publicist says that's impractical since the city charter prohibits muni drivers from striking. >> legally i'm not sure whether they have a throwing stand on here. i'm not a lawyer. but my understanding is they have a no strike clause in their contracts. >> a muni driver who is a union

member confirms that the second flyer is indeed an official union notice. and today bart will swear in three deputy police chiefs. they are replacing two police commanders who were in a union. the new jobs will not be unionized. the change is intended to streamline the management structure and give the bart police chief a stronger hand in running the department. consultants recommended the shift after the fatal shooting of oscar grant. so did you feel it? >> i wasn't around, no, but i heard a lot of people did. they are still talking about the coincidence of the small quake that struck the peninsula on the 105th anniversary of san francisco's 1906 quake. it was reported about 3:00 yesterday afternoon centered two miles southeast of pacifica. it was a 3.4. the u.s. geological survey has been monitoring aftershocks sin, the largest a 2.4. there are no reports of damage. and this morning several states bracing for yet another
