Teenagers Arrested in Connection to Assault of U.S. Marines in California

Authorities say they have arrested multiple teenagers in connection with the assault of the three U.S. Marines in San Clemente, California, an incident that sparked outrage after footage of the attack went viral.

The incident happened late Friday night along the San Clemente Pier. When deputies arrived at the scene, deputies said they found two U.S. Marines, both men, that had been injured from an apparent assault. They both received aid but declined to be taken to the hospital, police said, adding that they also found a third U.S. Marine who had been assaulted.

On late Tuesday, the Orange County Sheriff’s Department said they arrested four juvenile boys and a juvenile girl who are “believed to be involved.” All five were taken to the Orange County Juvenile Hall for assault with a non-firearm deadly weapon.
