After leaving The Café located at 2367 Market St., a man was walking another man home. When they reached the corner of Valencia and 18^th streets, he heard a male voice shouting out, “There goes two faggots.” Before the man could turn to see where the voice was coming from, two Hispanic males came out of the shadows and started beating him with their fists. The man took off his shirt to protect himself as the two suspects continued the beating yelling homophobic and derogatory insults. At one point during the assault, the man lost consciousness. When he woke up, the suspects were gone and so was his acquaintance. The man felt blood on his face and called 911 on his cell phone. Officers quickly arrived, called an ambulance and searched the area for the assailants described as Hispanic, between thirty and thirty-five years old, both over six feet tall, but could not find them. The victim told officers he believed the attack was provoked because he is gay, was taken to San Francisco General Hospital and treated for a laceration to the right side of his head, a broken deviated nose and a laceration to the corner of his right eye. It was unknown if the man’s friend was also a victim as police could not find him.
