A skateboarder who was halted for a minor traffic violation Thursday now is in jail facing felony charges, including assault, police said.
The 27-year-old man wound up behind bars after allegedly attacking a La Mesa police officer and a bystander who intervened.
Sean Louis Lambert of Fresno allegedly carried out the assaults at Lake Murray Boulevard and Lake Park Way shortly before 10:30 a.m., according to the La Mesa Police Department.
He was taken into custody after backup officers arrived, Lt. Scott Hildebrand said. The victims were treated for minor injuries.
Lambert was booked into San Diego Central Jail on suspicion of assault and resisting arrest, both felonies.
