San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie’s police security team was attacked
Thursday evening near the edge of the Tenderloin, the city’s most
infamous drug-plagued neighborhood — leaving an officer bleeding from
the back of his head after a chaotic street confrontation. 

The mayor was not hurt in the incident, which unfolded just before 6
p.m. near Cedar Street, according to Mission Local. 

One San Francisco Police Department officer assigned to Lurie’s security
detail was left panting and bleeding after he slammed his head during a
struggle with a suspect. 

Tony Phillips, who was booked on suspicion of murder in 2019 but never
faced charges, was arrested in the incident. 

San Francisco County Jail booking logs show Phillips, 44, detained on
suspicion of threat to an executive officer, possessing drug
paraphanelia, petty theft, battery and assault upon a police officer,
and resisting or obstructing an officer. 

Phillips was arrested in 2019 for allegedly fighting with and stabbing a
man in the Polk Gulch neighborhood, per the San Francisco Chronicle,
close by to where he allegedly attacked Lurie’s security guard.

The District Attorney declined to charge Phillips, reportedly citing
insufficient evidence. 

The mayor had been riding in a black SUV with the officer and a driver —
also a cop — when three people allegedly blocked the vehicle in the
street. 

Lurie jumped out of the SUV and asked the group to move, the injured
officer told responding cops. 

At first, the trio appeared to comply. But things quickly took a turn
when one man began “talking gibberish,” the officer said. 

When the officer stepped in and ordered the man to move along, the
suspect initially backed off — then suddenly came at him. 

The officer grabbed the man’s upper body, but the two tumbled to the
ground during the scuffle. The cop fell backward and struck his head on
the pavement, leaving him bleeding. 

Meanwhile, Lurie’s driver — also a police officer — was dealing with
another man at the scene. That officer did not appear to be injured.
It’s unclear whether the second man assaulted anyone, and the role of a
third person mentioned by police also remains unclear. 

The suspected attacker was handcuffed at the scene and repeatedly
shouted, “F–k you!” as officers arrested him. A second suspect tried to
run but was caught by police a short distance away. 

More than a dozen officers flooded the block, surrounding the two
suspects as they lay in handcuffs. 

Lurie watched the aftermath before walking away from the scene — and
appeared shaken by the ordeal. 

The mayor told Mission Local the men had attempted to fight a police
officer but declined to elaborate further. 

“There was an altercation this evening involving the mayor’s security
detail. The mayor was not involved. We appreciate our SFPD officers for
their quick response and for keeping our city safe every day,” said
Charles Lutvak, Lurie’s spokesperson. 

In a statement, the San Francisco Police Department said officers
responded to the area of Cedar and Polk streets at about 5:38 p.m. and
arrested two men. Two officers assigned to the mayor’s security detail
suffered injuries that were not considered life-threatening. 

Louis Wong, president of the San Francisco Police Officers Association,
praised the officers’ response. 

“We’re grateful the officers assigned to the mayor’s security detail
acted swiftly and courageously to protect him in a dangerous and
unpredictable situation,” Wong said. 

“We wish our injured officer a full and speedy recovery and commend all
involved for their bravery and decisive actions.”
