A 25-year-old man is in critical condition this morning after he was attacked by a group of guys outside a bar in the city's Japantown neighborhood.

Police were called out to the scene on the 1700 block of Post Street at about 1:45 a.m. today where they found the victim with a massive head injury.

Officer Gordon Shyy says that witnesses saw the victim in a verbal altercation with a group of Asian males inside a bar shortly before the attack. As the victim left the bar, a group of six to eight men followed him outside.

"One Asian male punched the victim and then both began assaulting the victim. A group of other males came and joined in the assault," Shyy says.

They all fled in four separate vehicles; one vehicle was described as a small blue SUV and the other a 4-door white sedan.

The victim was taken to San Francisco General Hospital where he's being treated for a head injury.

Anyone who witnessed this attack is asked to call the cops now.

  • clipping at Brava Theater Sept. 11
    Sub Pop recording artists 'clipping.' brought their brand of noise-driven experimental hip hop to the closing night of 2016's San Francisco Electronic Music Fest this past Sunday. The packed Brava Theater hosted an initially seated crowd that ended the night jumping and dancing against the front of the stage. The trio performed a set focused on their recently released Sci-Fi Horror concept album, 'Splendor & Misery', then delved into their dancier and more aggressive back catalogue, and recent single 'Wriggle'. Opening performances included local experimental electronic duo 'Tujurikkuja' and computer music artist 'Madalyn Merkey.'"
