Two robbery suspects attacked a man in San Francisco and made off with his valuables on getaway scooters Wednesday evening, authorities said.

Police said the male suspects approached the victim near Powell and Washington streets at about 9:40 p.m., struck him from behind, grabbed his bag, then fled on two nearby scooters. The stolen property reportedly included a bag, laptop, camera, umbrella and headphones.

Though an initial police report only lists one scooter, Officer Robert Rueca, a San Francisco police spokesman, confirmed that each of the suspects each had his own self-propelled scooter, not the motorized contraptions that have become ubiquitous across the city’s streets.

The victim, a 44-year-old man, suffered non-life-threatening injuries. There was no description given for the suspects.

When asked whether he was aware of other scooter-aided robberies, San Francisco Police spokesman Robert Rueca called it a “rare occasion.”

“Suspects use all different modes of transportation,” he added.

Though the scooters used in Wednesday’s attack were manpowered, electric street scooters began swarming San Francisco’s streets and sidewalks in March, and creators have billed their rides as a low-cost option to travel short distances. Not everyone has been a fan, as some of the scooters have beceom targets for vandalism.

Three companies to date offer the scooter-sharing service in San Francisco, and all follow the same general business model: The devices cost $1 to unlock plus 15 cents per minute.

The city’s Board of Supervisors recnetly took up the issue of regulating how many scooters can be deployed and where they can be parked.
