Two men attacked a pair of police officers serving as bodyguards for San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie on Thursday as the mayor and his team were visiting the city’s Tenderloin neighborhood, according to officials. Mayor Lurie was unharmed.

“I saw two individuals in the middle of a street. … I was worried about them and I was worried about [the] safety of pedestrians and cars coming,” Mayor Lurie told reporters on Friday. “We asked them to get up and then the incident began. ... I’m just really happy the members of my detail are okay.”
