A man is demanding accountability after he says he was attacked by a group on the boardwalk in Huntington Beach over the weekend.
"If the parents won't teach their kids right from wrong, let the justice system do it," Sam El-Said told Eyewitness News Wednesday. Around 7:30 p.m. Saturday, El-Said and his wife were leaving dinner. They were on the Huntington Beach boardwalk riding their scooters home when they came across a large group of juveniles - many of them on e-bikes - when he was suddenly struck.
"I got hit in the face with a bottle, and I came off my scooter," El-Said recalled. "I wanted to look around to see who threw this and before I know it, I'm being jumped. I remember getting hit in the head and I blacked out.
" Witnesses recording the attack show him regaining consciousness and standing up as the group of assailants fled. Police were called as El-Said's son tracked down one of the alleged attackers nearby. Police say he was arrested and cited for misdemeanor battery. A second suspect was caught Tuesday.
Huntington Beach police hosted an e-bike symposium Wednesday, hoping to come up with solutions to the growing challenges surrounding the popular vehicles.

Mike Thomas said. As El-Said recovers from a broken nose, concussion and black eye, he says he's fearful someone else will get hurt if changes are not made.
"It's escalating," he said. "And it's not the e-bikes causing the problem, it's the kids on the e-bikes that are causing the problems. "Colorado officials ID man killed by Frontier plane at Denver airport, give new details on incident
