The Los Angeles man brutally beaten up by a mob of bike-riding teens had hoped to make a quick trip to the store and watch a Lakers game before the violent attack derailed his night, leading to two arrests.

Maurice Benaim had stopped his car at the intersection of San Vicente Boulevard and Carillo Drive near Central LA when a group of “20-30” teens took over the roadway he wanted to cross.

“My day was so vanilla. All I wanted to do was go to the store, get my tangerine juice, maybe get some food and watch the Lakers game,” he told NBC Los Angeles. “It’s a sad thing to have to deal with in general,” he added. Benaim claimed he honked his horn to alert the teens of the impending light change, but the group grew upset and began to kick his car.
