A man is recovering from serious injuries after he was seen on camera being brutally attacked by a group of homeless men in San Diego's Ocean Beach neighborhood last Friday night.
A surveillance camera at Hodad's in the 5000 block of Newport Avenue captured what seems to be a casual sidewalk before the incident happened.
Boethel says the group of homeless people confronted him, he told them to stop, and he just wanted to go home. It then turned frightening for Boethel and his lab, Bali. When it comes to the homelessness issue, Boethel says he's never seen it get to this point in his 17 years living in Ocean Beach. "You know, the uptick in violence recently that I've noticed, I'm noticing almost once a week every other week there's a fight breaking out in front of the restaurant or down the street.""I just hope that people can get the help that they need whether it's mental health or with their general housing. We need to be able provide something that can help these people,” said Saltzman.
