"City Terrace resident Cuauhtemoc Negrete said he was told: 'You better blend in or youre going to get hurt.' The group eventually approached him, someone punched him in the head and another person stole his bicycle.
Negrete found himself standing alone on the corner of Vernon Avenue and Crenshaw at Leimert Park when he was SINGLED OUT by some of the agitators, who approached him and drew a crowd behind them.
Negrete said he didnt see who hit him. He was punched once in the back of the head. Another person grabbed his bike and rode off.
Shortly after the attack, Negrete broke down in tears and expressed his frustration over the violence.
He said he felt he was TARGETED BECAUSE he was LATINO. Others in the crowd said they saw SIMILAR INCIDENTS."
