San Francisco police and prosecutors said a transgender youth was the victim of a hate crime in a city known for tolerance and diversity.
The city's LGBT community plans to mobilize for a rally to call attention to the recent beating.
The 20-year-old transgender woman said she was attacked by two men near a food truck at the BART Plaza at 16th Street and Mission.
She asked KTVU San Francisco to conceal her identity and call her Mia.
She said it was 10 p.m. on a busy Friday night and she was verbally harassed by two men as she walked by.
She said one grabbed her smartphone, then beat her.
Amanda Byerly witnessed the attack, "I saw the moment where she was being punched in the face, very violently and very brutally."
