Two juveniles were arrested for their alleged involvement in the beating of a motorist by a group of 20 to 30 teenage bicyclists in broad daylight in the Carthay Circle area of Los Angeles, authorities said Friday.
Because they are juveniles, the names of the teenagers arrested have not been released.
The arrests followed an anonymous tip after the case was made public, the Los Angeles Police Department stated.
The juveniles have been charged with assault with a deadly weapon, Councilwoman Katy Yaroslavsky said.
The beating occurred about 5 p.m. Saturday near San Vicente Boulevard and Carrillo Drive, according to an LAPD statement.
According to the LAPD, the attack — which was caught on cellphone video — occurred around 5 p.m. Saturday near the intersection of San Vicente Boulevard and Carrillo Drive.

Police said an argument had erupted between the victim and a group of as many as 20 to 30 bicyclists between 16 and 18 years old.
“After a couple of suspects struck and kicked the victim’s vehicle, the victim exited his vehicle to confront them,” police said. “A physical altercation ensued, which resulted in additional suspects joining the altercation.”
The victim was surrounded by the suspects and “immediately overwhelmed” as they punched and kicked him on the ground. After the attack, which ended when several witnesses intervened, the suspects left the area on bicycles, heading southbound on Carillo Drive, police said.
