Part of my daily afternoon commute route.
Word of a bike rider who was assaulted by an unknown pedestrian on the San Gabriel River bike path in Seal Beach earlier this month.
The perpretrator allegedly stepped onto the bike path and socked the cyclist in the face hard enough to knock him down off his bike, then proceeded to punch him severely before casually strolling away. The victim was discovered by another rider crawling up the rocky embankment leading to the river, bleeding from the face, head, arms and legs.
Disturbingly, police never even showed up in response to the 911 call, although other riders followed the attacker for over 20 minutes.
