The attack happened around 11:30 a.m. Monday in the 1200 block of Fell Street, where the victim, a 29-year-old Daly City man, had set up his table, said Capt. Denis OLeary of the Police Departments Park Station.
A man and woman approached the victim, tore one of the signs and shook the table, causing the political literature to fall to the ground.
The suspects also kicked the man in the hand, OLeary said.
The man and woman, who had dogs with them, fled south on Broderick Street before officers arrived, and havent been located, OLeary said.
The victim said the pair made no mention of a political affiliation, OLeary said. Its just unusual that they took offense to him and his sign.
The first suspect is described as an Asian man with long black hair who was wearing a gray baseball cap, gray sweatshirt and dark jeans, OLeary said.
The other is a white woman who is about 5 feet 6 inches tall with long, curly brown hair, he said.
Anyone with information about the case is asked to call the Police Departments anonymous tip line at (415) 575-4444 or send a tip by text message to TIP411.
