SAN FRANCISCO — Police are searching for the man who viciously hit a San Francisco homeless man in the skull with a metal pipe earlier this week.

KPIX-TV reports (http://cbsloc.al/1CBJ5XE ) Friday that the incident occurred in front of a bar in the city's Tenderloin district on Wednesday night. The attack was captured by security cameras.

The homeless man's name and age were not released. He remains at San Francisco General Hospital in critical condition.
