At around 9:50 p.m., deputies arrived on the scene, where there were many minors and the two Marines, both men, who were medically treated there and refused to be taken to a hospital, said Sgt. Mike Woodroof, an OCSD public information officer.

?That?s kind of where it?s at right now,? Woodroof said. ?Investigations is pursuing it right now.?

The two men sustained minor injuries, such as an injury to the hand, scrapes to the knees and soreness to the abdomen, chest and head areas, according to Woodroof. The names of the victims could not be shared at this time, Woodroof said.

It?s unclear exactly how many minors were involved in the altercation, with authorities estimating that there could have been between 10 and 30, Woodroof said.

No one was taken into custody or arrested, said Woodroof, who also noted that it?s unclear what led to Friday night?s altercation.

A roughly minute-long video that?s been circulated on social media captured the brawl occurring along the sidewalk and stairway area of the Pier Bowl that leads visitors toward the train tracks and beach?s entrance.

At the start of the recording, one of the Marines is seen starting to walk up the steps and is being followed by a large group of people yelling. A seemingly young individual appears to take a swing to the back of the Marine?s head. Posted By Ghost
