Mob of teens destroys car and brutally beats driver in downtown Los Angeles
A video shows a mob of teens riding bicycles around downtown Los Angeles before brutally beating a man and destroying his car earlier this month.
The attack happened on Aug. 2 while the victim, Shailoobek Bazarbai Uulu, was driving around the area near Olympic Boulevard and Hope Street. He said he was heading to the downtown Toyota dealership when he saw dozens of teens riding bicycles.
Bazarbai Uulu said one of the teens threw a bottle of liquid that hit the passenger side of his car as he passed by them. He then drove through the intersection before pulling over and getting out of his car.
"Now, I realize that was a big mistake," he said.
Bazarbai Uulu said the teens started to surround him before one of the suspects, who was wearing a mask, approached him. At that time, he started running away, and several teens chased him.
"When I looked back, I saw how a few of them were jumping on my car," Bazarbai Uulu said. "They were literally like destroying my car."
