A man strolling through a quiet stretch of San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park in the middle of the day was attacked by a mob of more than a half-dozen people who knocked him to the ground and pummeled him before fleeing with his jewelry, police said Wednesday.

The vicious beat down occurred around 1:40 p.m. Tuesday in the park’s Sharon Meadow off Bowling Green Drive, according to the San Francisco Police Department.

The victim, 39, sustaining none-life-threatening injuries to his face from the repeated blows of his seven assailants, police said.

The band of muggers made off with the victim’s jewelry and fled on foot, police said. One bystander witnessed the assault, and gave a statement to police, said Officer Giselle Talkoff, a spokeswoman for the department.

No arrests have been made in the incident. Anyone with information on the robbery can contact the San Francisco Police Department at (415) 575-4444.
