Two teenagers were arrested after attacking a man in Hermosa Beach.

LOS ANGELES - Two teenagers have been arrested for their involvement in a brutal e-bike attack on a man in Hermosa Beach. 

According to the Hermosa Beach Police Department, they identified five minors involved in the attack, and arrested two, who have been identified as the primary aggressors in this case. All the minors are between the ages of 13 and 15.  

Police said they are in communication with the parents of the remaining minors and are preparing to present the case to the prosecutor's office.

The backstory:

On Friday, Nov. 21 around 8 p.m., a group of teens attacked a 56-year-old man near 11th Court and Beach Drive. 

The man was walking home from a restaurant, carrying a pizza box, when he was suddenly surrounded and assaulted by the group. Bystanders called 911, and police arrived within two minutes, finding the man unresponsive. He was rushed to a hospital with what neighbors described as a severe concussion.
