Two men attacked San Francisco mayor's bodyguards, authorities say

Two men are under arrest after police say they attacked two officers protecting San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie

SAN FRANCISCO -- 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 Tenderloin 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.

Charles Lutvak, a spokesperson for Lurie, said there was an altercation involving Lurie's security detail and that the mayor was not involved.
