(CBS/AP) LOS ANGELES - Two Los Angeles men were arrested on suspicion of assaulting a man who was beaten and kicked in the head during a videotaped road rage freeway attack, authorities said Thursday.
David Mendez, 21, and Edras Ramirez, 27, turned themselves in to a California Highway Patrol investigative services office in Hollywood at about 7:30 p.m. Wednesday and were arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, CHP Officer Ming Hsu said.
Hsu said it was unclear why the men surrendered. However, a video of the June 12 freeway fight clearly showed the faces of two men who grappled with the victim and also had the license plate of the getaway car.
The video became a minor sensation after being posted on YouTube and it was widely aired Wednesday by television news stations.
