"Didn't see it coming," he said.
The punch left Harter with a cut on his forehead in addition to a bruised eye.
"I'm not willing to just let someone start urinating in the middle of the street, walking belligerent with a beer in his hand," Harter said. "That's just not the right behavior for this city."

According to the employee who initially encountered the man, Sophia Crosetti, he has never been seen in the area.
"It's scary that someone all of a sudden resorts to violence like that," she said. "And it's not representative of this community."
Carter said that it was "worth" getting punched in the face if it brings the conversation surrounding violence to light.

"I don't want him to go to jail. I want him to go do 100 hours of community service, cleaning up the streets in Haight street," Harter said.
