Police have arrested two high school students in connection with a serious assault on a homeless man in Santa Cruz.
Scotts Valley police officers detained two students, minors whose names were not released due to their age, shortly before 11 a.m. Monday at the Scotts Valley High School campus, according to Capt. Scott Garner. The arrests were in connection with what was described as “an elderly male was battered” shortly before 8:30 p.m. Friday on the 1400 block of Ocean Street, according to a Santa Cruz Police Department media log.
The teens — including a 14-year-old Santa Cruz resident and a 16-year-old Scotts Valley resident — were booked into Santa Cruz County Juvenile Hall on suspicion of felony assault by means likely to cause great bodily injury. Witnesses to the attack described seeing three juveniles attacking a man and “stomping” on his head, according to a Santa Cruz police release. Investigators later obtained video showing the assault victim running away from the juveniles on Ocean Street before they struck him down and then fled in a vehicle.
