SANDY SPRINGS, Ga. - Police have arrested a man after "shocking" surveillance footage captured him aggressively pushing two teenage boys off their bicycles as they rode down a sidewalk in City Springs on Saturday.

The video shows a man, identified by investigators as Stephen Catterton, walking along the sidewalk in a blue and cream plaid shirt. As the two teens approach on their bikes, Catterton appears to shove them both. One boy was knocked onto the pavement, while the other was pushed directly into a nearby fountain.

Sandy Springs police used the surveillance footage to identify Catterton and located him later that night. Officers intercepted him while he was watching a concert at the City Springs venue and escorted him out in handcuffs.

"Pushing kids off bicycles is not only unacceptable; it’s a quick way to meet our officers," the Sandy Springs Police Department said in a released statement. "If Mr. Catterton happens to be your neighbor, you may want to use caution."

Body camera footage from the arrest shows Catterton attempting to argue with officers, though his specific remarks were difficult to discern. Officers reportedly told Catterton he could "take that up with a judge."

The condition of the two teenagers has not been formally released, though they were seen interacting with authorities following the incident. Catterton’s specific charges were not immediately available.
