SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF) - Police are searching for a group of men who, during an assault and robbery of a Texas man Monday night, stole a chunk of the man's hair in addition to his personal property.

The 34-year-old out-of-state tourist had been walking in the 100 block of Gateway Boulevard around 10 p.m. when he was assaulted by four to six men, police said.
