SAN CLEMENTE, Calif. (AP) — Five juveniles have been arrested on suspicion of being involved in the beating of three Marines by a large group on a Southern California pier. The assault happened Friday in the city of San Clemente, which is near the Marine Corps’ Camp Pendleton. Video circulating online showed a melee with victims on the ground being kicked until a woman and a man broke it up. The Orange County Sheriff's Department says deputies initially found two victims but then determined a third Marine was also assaulted. Four boys and one girl were arrested Tuesday. They're being investigated for assault with a deadly weapon.
