New video shows SF mayor’s security guard launching full-on attack before he was body-slammed — as mayor watched it all unfold

New video footage of a violent street fight involving San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie’s security detail in the city’s troubled Tenderloin district shows his guard shoving a man to the ground as the mayor looked on.

Lurie caught heat when an initial clip showed him looking on calmly before walking away with his hands in his pockets as the guard, a police officer, wrestled with the suspect, who was later arrested.

A new, longer video shows Lurie standing motionless as guard pushes the man to the ground after he got in the officer’s face and appeared to try to move past him.

After the man got to his feet and the two begin to tussle, Lurie is seen walking away before appearing to break into a sprint as he disappears behind a building.

Sources familiar with the incident said the mayor was walking away to fetch another member of the detail for backup.

The initial video showed the officer struggling with the suspect, later identified as Tony Phillips, on the ground until help arrived. The officer was left bleeding from the back of his head after the fight.

Cops arrested Phillips, who was detained on suspicion of murder in 2019 before being released, and another man involved in the fracas, Abraham Simon.

Viewers of the new clip said it shed new light on the chaotic confrontation.

“It takes on a new vibe from this angle. Looks like he watching his body guard pick a fight with a homeless man until it went the other way. Is this a pattern of behavior? A form of entertainment?” one X user wrote.

“Holy s—t this video tells a completely different story,” another added.

Others blamed the security guard for escalating the situation.

“The Mayor did the right thing and got backup. I want to know why security escalated the situation with a hard shove. I see security being the aggressor,” one commenter stated.

The wild melee broke out on Thursday after Lurie asked people crowding the street to move, according to Mission Local.
