A 13-year-old boy was viciously attacked Saturday afternoon at an apartment complex along Three Oaks Parkway, near San Carlos Park, after accidentally hitting a passing car with Play-Doh.
The boy said he was walking along the sidewalk on Three Oaks Parkway while playing with Play-Doh around 1 p.m. when he accidentally tossed it into the road, hitting a passing car.
The driver reportedly turned around, chased the boy into the Millennium Apartments and assaulted him, stomping on his head during the attack.
The attack was caught on camera, and the boy's mother and Southwest Crime Stoppers are both asking for help identifying the suspect involved.
Deputies said the man fled the scene in a blue Honda after reportedly battering two juveniles during the incident at the complex located off Blackwood Circle.
The sheriff’s office released a video of the attack and is encouraging anyone with information about the suspect or the vehicle to contact them.
