(San Francisco, USA) - A gay man was beaten in San Francisco's South of Market District Friday, May 18 around 11:30 p.m. while walking down Harrison Street from the Lone Star Saloon toward the Eagle Tavern. Michael Benda, 45, a freelance graphic designer who lives in the Castro, told the Bay Area Reporter that he was walking alone on Harrison near 10th Street when one man punched him in his left eye while a second man laughed. Benda fell to the ground, where the second man proceeded to kick him in the chest and stomach. Benda said that he learned from the doctors after a CAT scan that the punch caused an orbital fracture, breaking the bone behind his eye. He said that doctors told him the fracture will never heal.
