The 53-year-old guard was patrolling the campus when he found the trio — 2 18-year-olds and a 17-year-old — on a bench in the college’s central quad.

Police arrested three people for what they said was an unprovoked attack on a Fullerton College security guard early on Friday, Oct. 13, with one of the teens pulling out an ax and swinging it at several guards who arrived to help.

The guard believed one of them was suffering a medical emergency, said Kai Stearns, a spokeswoman for the North Orange County Community College District. The group punched and kicked the guard, stomped on his head, and attempted to gouge his eye, police said. During the attack, the guard was able to radio for help.

The guards subdued one of the teens, but two others fled, running north across campus. When Fullerton police officers arrived, they tracked down the remaining two on foot.
