Thug caught on video kicking man in back of head while victim sits in jacuzzi. But case soon breaks in surprising way.

An individual was caught on video kicking a man in the back of the head while he sat in a Southern California jacuzzi earlier this month, after which another suspect stole the man's phone.

The incident occurred Aug.14 when Greg Medina — who serves the homeless in San Bernardino — said he was relaxing in a jacuzzi when two suspects approached him from behind, KTLA-TV reported.

'I could have lost consciousness, or I could have been hurt a lot worse and drowned.'

Surveillance video captured one of the suspects delivering a hard kick to the back of Medina’s head, the station said, adding that the other suspect reached down to steal Medina's phone, which was sitting on the concrete.

Medina told KTLA he was listening to a class with earbuds when he "felt a sharp kick behind my head. I saw the kids off in the distance [but] didn’t really pay much attention to them.”

Medina added to the station that he didn’t get a look at the two suspects but that he believed they were either teens or young adults.

Medina tracked his phone to a neighboring apartment complex and contacted police, the station said.

He then went to an emergency room, where he learned he had suffered a concussion, KTLA added.

Soon, however, the case broke in a surprising way.

Investigators told KTLA the parents of the two 13-year-old suspects turned them in Friday morning, and the pair were arrested on felony charges.

Police told the station that both teens were taken to Juvenile Hall; the suspect who allegedly delivered the kick was booked on robbery and battery charges, while the other suspect was booked on robbery charges.

The teens have not been identified because of their ages, KTLA said.

“I don’t hate them. … I forgive them,” Medina noted to the station. “I don’t wish any bad on anybody. However, I do feel that they need to be held accountable, especially the parents.”

“I could have lost consciousness, or I could have been hurt a lot worse and drowned,” he added to KTLA.
