Three people were hospitalized after a brawl inside a nightclub in San Francisco's Japantown neighborhood early Tuesday, police said.

The fight was reported at 12:58 a.m. in the 1700 block of Post Street.

Officers responded to find the three victims -- two men ages 25 and 28 and a 25-year-old woman -- who had been struck in the head with beer bottles, according to police.

The victims were taken to San Francisco General Hospital to be treated for bruising to the face and head, police said. All are expected to survive.

About 15 people believed to be involved in the brawl all had fled before officers arrived and have not been found.
