A man walking down Market Street had a scary encounter this morning, when a gang of miscreants chased him down and stole his stuff.

According to the San Francisco Police Department, a 32-year-old man was at Eighth and Market Streets at 3:17 this morning when he was approached by five men.

The group was apparently threatening enough that the man tried to flee, but the gang of five chased him down and "shoved him," police say.

They then took both his backpack, which contained miscellaneous toiletries, police say. Once they had his stuff, all five suspects fled the scene.

The victim suffered a scrape to his elbow in the attack, but turned down an offer to go to the hospital.
