No life-threatening injuries were reported and the security officer was treated at the scene.
Tony Phillips, 44, and Abraham Simon, 33, were transported to San Francisco County Jail. Phillips was booked on attempted assault against an officer and other charges. Simon was booked for obstructing an officer and for an active out-of-country warrant.

“We are grateful that the officers assigned to the mayor’s security detail acted swiftly and courageously to protect him in a dangerous and unpredictable situation,” Louis Wong, the president of the San Francisco Police Officers Association, said in a statement. “We wish our injured officer a full and speedy recovery and commend all involved for their bravery and decisive actions.”
Photos show that several police officers quickly arrived on the scene, where the two suspects were arrested. The San Francisco Chronicle reported that Phillips was arrested on suspicion of murder in 2019 but not charged.
