Three Long Beach boys, including two teenagers, have been charged with beating a homeless man with tent poles and a tripod, authorities said Tuesday.
On Saturday, April 20, at around 6:30 p.m., Long Beach Police Department officers responded to the 100 block of Pacific Avenue for a report of an assault, according to LBPD spokeswoman Alyssa Baeza.
Officers found a man with non-life-threatening injuries who was treated by the Long Beach Fire Department.
An initial investigation found that the man was approached by a group of boys who got into a verbal fight with the man, before striking him with tent poles and a camera tripod. The boys also threw objects, which struck the man, Baeza said.
The boys ran away before authorities arrived, but police found and arrested them.
Each of the boys — a 15-year-old, a 14-year-old and a 12-year-old — was booked for assault with a deadly weapon and conspiracy to commit a crime. One of them, the 14-year-old, was booked for resisting arrest as well.
The identities of the suspects have not been made public, as they are juveniles.
