(CNN) — A 20-year-old man has been arrested after a Molotov cocktail was thrown at the San Francisco home of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman early Friday morning.

The incident happened around 4:00 am when a suspect “threw an incendiary destructive device” at Altman’s home, “causing a fire to one exterior gate” before fleeing on foot, according to statement from the San Francisco Police Department.

The same suspect then allegedly headed to OpenAI’s offices, where he was “threatening to burn down the building,” according to the statement. SFPD said that “charges are still pending at this time.”

In a statement, a spokesperson for OpenAI confirmed the incidents and said that “no one was hurt.”

Police have not indicated a possible motive behind the attack.

OpenAI’s offices have been the target of attacks in the past. In November, the company’s headquarters went on lockdown when a man “threatened to go to several OpenAI offices in San Francisco to ‘murder people,’” according to the San Francisco Standard. Protestors have also regularly demonstrated this year outside the ChatGPT maker’s building in the Mission Bay neighborhood of San Francisco.

“We deeply appreciate how quickly SFPD 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 OpenAI spokesperson said after Friday’s attack.

SANTA MARIA, Calif. (KEYT) – This year's Family Kite Festival in Santa Maria has been canceled due to the expectation of incoming rainstorms.

The event organizers were worried the conditions of Rotary Centennial Park's field where the event was scheduled to take place would compromise safety, accessibility, and the overall experience they shared in a press release Friday.

"This decision was made with the community at the forefront," explained Jacquilyn Banta, COO of Children's Resource and Referral, the event's primary organizer. "While we are disappointed, our responsibility is to ensure that every event we host is safe, welcoming, and aligned with the high standards our families deserve."

The full cancelation of this year's event allowed organizers to focus on planning next year's kite festival.

Santa Barbara's Kite Festival was delayed for a week for the same weather-related reasons.
