After an initial argument between the victim and attackers, the attackers immediately overwhelmed the victim, punching and kicking them to the ground. 

When outsiders intervened, the attackers left the area together riding their bicycles southbound on Carrillo Drive.

The victim sustained injuries but did not go to the hospital.
