LAPD Investigates Violent Clash Between Driver and Teen Cyclists in Los Angeles

A driver swerved through a group of cyclists blocking traffic before being attacked in a parking garage, as shown in videos under police review.

Videos show a driver in a white Mercedes-Benz swerving through a large group of teenage cyclists on W. Olympic Boulevard in Los Angeles, narrowly avoiding collisions.
The cyclists, who had taken over multiple lanes of traffic, later confronted the driver in a parking garage, where they assaulted him and vandalized his vehicle.
The Los Angeles Police Department is investigating the incident, including identifying the individuals involved and determining the sequence of events.
Local residents expressed mixed reactions, with some initially cheering on the cyclists but later condemning the violence captured in the videos.
The altercation is part of a broader trend of bike and vehicle takeovers in the city that have occasionally escalated into violence and criminal behavior.
