Cell phone footage captured the horrific moment a wedding photographer was wrestled to the ground and pistol-whipped by armed attackers in front of terrified newlyweds.
Video posted online shows how two men in dark Nike sweatshirts, face masks and dark sweatpants approached the unidentified photographer in broad daylight at San Francisco's Palace of Fine Arts on November 9.
It was just one of two assaults on wedding photographers at the Palace of Fine Arts that day, after a recent poll found that a majority of San Franciscans believe their city is going downhill, and a third plan to leave the city within three years.
In the video from Wednesday, armed men could be seen trying to grab the photographer's camera and gear from his camera bag — but the would-be victim manages to hold on to his belongings.
At that point, the two men start threatening the photographer with their guns, one of which appeared to have been modified for an extended clip.
The victim tries to run away, running past the shocked groom in a light colored suit with a red kerchief and his new wife, in a red dress, before he falls on the ground.
The groom seemed to try to help the man while he was down, but the armed attackers soon came back, holding him to the ground and whipping him with their gun before they ran off.

They love to pick on Chinese
Democrats ruin every nice place when they take control. San Francisco, Seattle, Portland, New York City, Vermont, Colorado, and on and on.
What is an extended clip?
Since the borders were blown wide open, drugs now rampant, multiple car thefts in my town daily and limp dick judges now the norm, I no longer photograph in cities and towns.
The streets have become far too dangerous, even in the smallest of towns.
These people honestly believe that they are the ones at fault for these crimes real what you sow but make sure they don’t move to other states
Sheesh, is about the size of it. I see so many posts that basically give the finger to crime victims if the crime happened in a liberal run city. I think people forget sometimes there are no perfect choices in elections.
Elections have consequences.
I think they might have also had lassos and bleach and were shouting out something about M A G A.
Agreed. If only more of them would be attacked, then maybe....nah.
If they vote for the system that generates this stuff.
Were they both male or both female?
“they at least have the license number of the getaway car”
The getaway car is stolen. The plate is stolen too, from a different car.
They were after the photographic equipment. There have been half a dozen TV news crews, some filming live, who have had their video equipment stolen in the last few years in the Bay Area.
I think this stuff is stolen to order.
a recent poll found that a majority of San Franciscans believe their city is going downhill,
Really? Ya think?! What was your first clue? ROTFLOL
That would have been an easy fix had somebody been armed.
Cameras are the new French bulldogs.
