Two men attacked a pair of police officers who were serving as bodyguards for San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie, officials said. Lurie was unharmed. The suspects, who were taken into custody, were part of a group blocking Lurie and his security team’s vehicle Thursday evening in the troubled Ten derloin neighborhood. The men became violent after one of the officers asked them to move, witnesses told Mission Local, a San Francisco news organization. A video obtained by the news outlet shows one of the bodyguards dressed in a suit in a struggle with a man who throws him to the ground. It was unclear what Lurie was doing in the Tenderloin, a problem spot for public drug use and dealing, but he often walks around the city talking to residents. Lurie told reporters Friday he was traveling in his SUV with his bodyguards when he saw people standing in the middle of the street and he stopped to ask them to move. “I saw two individuals in the middle of a street, not on the sidewalk, but literally in the middle of a street,” he said. “I was worried about them and I was worried about safety of pedestrians and cars coming, so I stopped. We asked them to get up, and then the incident began.” San Francisco 21 hours ago 2 arrested after altercation involving San Francisco mayor's security detail San Francisco 7 hours ago Pedestrian dies, scooter rider hurt after collision with vehicle in San Francisco Video footage also showed Lurie appear to walk away as the confrontation unfolded. He said he was going to the car to get the other member of his detail. “So I went to get him, and he came to support the officer,” Lurie said. San Francisco police officers responded to the scene after receiving a request for backup from Lurie’s bodyguards, who said they were in a physical altercation with two unidentified men, the police department said in a statement. The officers had non-life-threatening injuries and were treated by paramedics at the scene, the San Francisco Police Department said in a statement. The men were arrested on suspicion of assaulting a peace officer with a deadly weapon, resisting a peace officer, possession of drug paraphernalia and other charges.
