Justice went full frontal in the Castro last week when two nudists took down a man attacking a tourist on the street.

The naked samaritans—Pete Sferra of San Jose and Lloyd Fishback of San Francisco—were letting it all hang out on a July 2 stroll through the neighborhood when they spotted a “crazy kind of pirate guy” threatening a man with a blowtorch.

A video from the scene shows an onlooker snag the blowtorch just before the attacker starts to punch the tourist. Petros Fanourgiakis, owner of the nearby Aegean Delights, said the attacker threatened to burn the tourist’s face.

This was a Tuesday. San Francisco liked to wait until the weekend to really let loose.

Fishback declined to comment for this story as the nudist values his privacy.

A spokesperson for the San Francisco Police Department identified the suspect as 38-year-old Zero Triball.

Really wanted to see that fight go to the ground. Nudists pin pirate to the ground waiting for police to arrive.
