No one expects to see a grown man take out his rage on a 14-year-old boy riding his bike. Sadly, that’s exactly what happened in California after a recent incident had left parents and community members absolutely horrified.
According to reports, the teen and a friend were out for what should’ve been a normal bike ride when things took a terrifying turn. The boys nearly collided with a man who was also biking, but he didn’t even have lights on his bike. Instead of brushing it off as a close call, the man allegedly went full villain mode. He chased the kids down and managed to grab the 14-year-old, shoving him off his bike and slamming him to the ground.
As if that weren’t enough, witnesses say the California man then started throwing punches, hitting the boy in the face several times. The young teen was left stunned and helpless while his attacker kept going. And the story doesn’t stop there. After the boy broke free, the man reportedly slashed his tires, destroyed his bike, and even smashed his helmet, all while spitting on him and screaming threats.
California Man Pushes Kid Off Bike And Proceeds To Beat Him Up
The scariest part is that the 14-year-old thought he was being stabbed because the man was holding a knife to slash the tires. In his own words, the boy told ABC7: “He was hitting me with the under part of his hand… screaming at me, spitting in my face, saying that he was going to kill me. In the moment, I thought he was stabbing me, and I feared for my life to be honest.”
Adding to the heartbreak, the boy was filmed begging passing drivers for help, shouting “Help me” and “Please stop.” Finally, one woman did pull over, and her compassion may have been what scared the attacker enough to flee. Still, the damage, both physical and emotional, had already been done.
“No one is safe,” one person commented on TikTok. “Literally kids just trying to be kids outside,” another said. “Thank god the young man is ok! Crazy sick people,” a third person chimed in.
This Is So Sad
This attack has understandably left the community shaken. Parents are outraged, kids are scared, and everyone is demanding answers: Who is this man, and why on earth did he think attacking a child was okay? With footage and witness accounts piling up, there’s hope authorities will track him down soon.
This incident proves there are still dangerous people out there who need to be held accountable. Let’s just hope justice comes quickly, and that this young California boy can begin to heal from such a terrifying ordeal.
