[FoxNews] A San Francisco reporter shared he was assaulted while riding his bicycle by a group of young teens, and confessed it wasn't his first time being a victim of crime in the blue city.
In a video taken right after the assault, ABC7 investigative reporter Dan Noyes says he was on his way home from his bike ride when he saw a group of about 15 young teens across the street from where he was on the bike path.
That's when he said one of the kids rushed over suddenly and knocked him off his bike in an attempt to steal it.
"I came crashing to the ground. My left elbow is pretty darn sore, I hope it’s not a hairline fracture or something. But I nailed hard onto the ground. I got up, and the kid had grabbed my bike and was starting to run away," Noyes says in the video posted to X.
He shared images of heavy bruising on his arm from the fall and a doctor's note showing he suffered a broken elbow. Noyes confirmed to FOX News Digital that he suffered a broken elbow with a fractured radial head from the assault.
After Noyes warned the teen that he would be on the local news, the group of kids rode away quickly.
"Well I jumped up and went after him, and said, ‘You're about to be on Channel 7.’ The kids, at that, just scattered," he said in the social media video, while showing camera footage of the teens riding away.
Noyes said the teens appeared too young to even hold a drivers' license.
"That's crazy," the rattled reporter remarked in the aftermath.
