San Francisco police have arrested a man who is accused of throwing a molotov cocktail at OpenAI CEO Sam Altman‘s $27 million home—and made threats outside of his company’s headquarters in the city.
According to a statement issued by OpenAI, the parent company of ChatGPT, the alleged attack took place in the early hours of the morning on April 10.
“Early this morning, someone threw a Molotov cocktail at Sam Altman’s home and also made threats at our San Francisco headquarters,” the statement read.
“Thankfully, no one was hurt. We deeply appreciate how quickly [the San Francisco Police Department] responded and the support from the city in helping keep our employees safe. The individual is in custody, and we’re assisting law enforcement with their investigation.”
The San Francisco Police Department confirmed to NBC News in a separate statement that officers had responded to “a fire investigation” at an address in the North Beach neighborhood of the city at around 4:12 a.m. local time.
