Police were trying Tuesday to identify three people caught on surveillance video kicking a 55-year-old homeless man who was sleeping in the doorway of a flower shop. Grainy footage provided by Canton Flower Shop in Chinatown showed the three taunting and kicking the victim in the head about 4 a.m. Sunday. Owner Ed Jew decided to check the footage that morning after noticing that the homeless man he had allowed to sleep in the doorway for six months had left his belongings behind. "It was a senseless crime," he said. "It was disgusting." Jew, who serves on a city committee on homelessness, said the man had refused offers to recommend him to shelters. "We're treating this as a high priority crime," said San Francisco police Sgt. Neville Gittens. "We don't want this to happen to anybody, let alone somebody who's defenseless." Jew installed the security system four months ago to prevent illegal garbage dumping, he said.
