<p>SAN FRANCISCO (KPIX 5) — After two years of barely scraping by without any foot traffic, the owners of a San Francisco Chinatown camera store breathed a sigh of relief when tourists finally started trickling back in — only to get nearly robbed and attacked with hammers Monday.</p>
<p>It all started around 3:20 p.m. when a group of three teens walked in and asked about the price of a camera. They hung around for about three minutes and left, only to return about 30 minutes later.</p>
<p>The robbery attempt didn’t go as planned; the cases behind the counter are plexiglass and wouldn’t break. One countertop case made of glass did shatter, but that’s when the attack turned from stealing cameras to swinging hammers at Sergio and his co-owner Ariel.</p>
<p>“One of the guys up there is trying to hit my partner with a hammer,” said Sergio. “I run and I try to grab a bat that I have. Try to protect myself and my business here.”</p>
<p>A neighboring business owner came running over with a sandwich board trying to stop the attack. He got hit in the head with a hammer and needed 10 stitches.</p>
<p>“One of the guys, they put the pepper spray in my eyes,” said Sergio. “The other guy is trying to hit me with a hammer and I’m trying to protect myself.”</p>
<p>Within about a minute, the attempted robbery and hammer attack was over. Co-owner Ariel is scared. ‘We don’t know them – but they know us because we work over here seven days a week,” he said.</p>
