Two men are under arrest after police say they attacked two officers protecting San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie. Lurie was unharmed. Witnesses told Mission Local, a San Francisco news outlet, that the men were part of a group blocking Lurie's vehicle in the Tenderloin neighborhood. Authorities say the men turned violent after an officer asked them to move. A video obtained by the news outlet shows a struggle between a bodyguard and a man who throws him to the ground. A spokesperson says the mayor was not involved in the altercation. Police say the officers suffered injuries that are not life-threatening. The suspects were arrested on assault and other charges.
