San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan's security detail got involved in a physical altercation while he was downtown for a restaurant opening.
The altercation broke out while Mahan was getting interviewed by local news station KRON 4. The entire interaction was captured on video.
In the beginning of the video, the pedestrian is seen walking by Mahan's right shoulder, talking on the phone as he approaches the security detail.
The mayor politely tells the man that he is in the middle of an interview, to which the pedestrian said, 'Yeah man, I work right there, I was just talking on the phone, you got a problem?'
Mahan's security detail, an officer for the San Jose Police Department, tried deescalating the situation as the pedestrian became more aggressive.

The mayor politely tells the man that he is in the middle of an interview, to which the pedestrian said, 'Yeah man, I work right there, I was just talking on the phone, you got a problem?'
The pedestrian snaps at the officer, telling him to 'mind your f*****g business.'
“I was going to do what the f**k I was going to do right before you walked up to me,” he said to the security guard.
From there, the situation escalated, turning physical in a matter of seconds. The pedestrian threatened the officer, telling him he would smack him.
The brawl continued as the pedestrian landed a right-hand punch to the officer's head.
Bystanders called the police for backup, and the pedestrian was eventually detained.
The officer involved in the altercation suffered an injury and was taken to the hospital, where he stayed overnight with head and neck pain.
Video captured by KRON4 is being submitted as evidence to the district attorney's office, police told the local outlet.
The mayor was not physically harmed during this incident as his security detail did just what they were hired to do.
The suspect was detained in Santa Clara County Main Jail for multiple charges, including felony battery on a police officer. The motive has not yet been determined.
Mahan’s office issued the following statement regarding the incident:
'Mayor Matt Mahan is deeply grateful to his security detail and the entire San Jose Police Department.

'The actions of the Officer tonight were heroic and a testament to the deescalation training that makes our officers effective, compassionate and stewards of community trust His thoughts are with the Officer and he hopes for a speedy recovery.
'The Mayor understands how privileged he is to have an armed officer protecting him at all times, and is resolved in his commitment to create a safer city for everyone.
'That means hiring more police officers and addressing the root causes of crime, including by intervening earlier and more effectively in cycles of addiction, mental illness and violence.'
