"Mayor Lurie himself reportedly got out of the vehicle to ask them to move, and they initially seemed to be complying, Mission Local reported via the SFPD, but then one individual began 'talking gibberish' and refused to move. One SFPD officer assigned to the mayor's security detail then got out of the vehicle and tried to shuffle the man aside, but this is when the altercation began."
"Video obtained by Mission Local shows Mayor Lurie briefly looking on and then walking out of the frame as this scuffle begins, but the suspect quickly overpowers the security officer and slams him to the ground where he apparently hit his head."
"The two officers both sustained non-life-threatening injuries and a photo from the scene shows the first officer, who is bald, with a bloody abbrasion on the back of his head. Other SFPD officers soon descended on the scene and arrested two suspects."
On Thursday evening at Polk and Cedar streets in San Francisco's Tenderloin, Mayor Daniel Lurie's black SUV was blocked by three individuals. When the mayor exited to ask them to move, one person began speaking incoherently and refused to comply. A security officer attempted to move the individual aside, triggering a physical altercation. Video footage shows the suspect overpowering the officer and slamming him to the ground, causing a head injury. A second officer engaged with another individual off-camera. Both security officers sustained non-life-threatening injuries, with one showing visible head trauma. Additional SFPD officers arrived and arrested two suspects at the scene.
