Police investigate teen assault caught on video outside Regal Cinemas
Officers responded just after midnight on Aug. 1 to the Regal Cinemas parking lot at 2751 Tapo Canyon Road following a report of a physical altercation.
According to the Simi Valley Police Department, several juveniles were involved in the incident. One adult victim was located at the scene and sustained injuries that were not considered life-threatening, police said.
Videos of the incident began circulating online shortly afterward, prompting community concern. Some social media users, including at least one Facebook commenter, have described the incident as a 'horrific anti-Black racist hate crime.'

The police department said it is reviewing those videos as part of its investigation, but has not yet determined what initiated the altercation or whether the incident will be classified as a hate crime.
Anyone with video evidence or information is encouraged to contact Officer Juarez at 805-217-7905.
