Two off-duty Marines were viciously beaten and stomped by a mob of around 40 teenagers at the San Clemente Pier while they were celebrating Memorial Day.
One of the Marines, Hunter Antonino, spoke to KCAL News of Los Angeles, telling them, "They were lighting off fireworks, they were being belligerent, they were being obnoxious and annoying other people so I went up to them and told them to stop."
Antonino added that the teens followed them to the pier, where the altercation happened. He added that he believes he suffered a concussion from being stomped and hit in the head.
The Orange County Sheriff’s Department released a statement, vowing to "continue investigating this matter until all individuals responsible are identified and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law."
