Three people were taken into custody today after a lifeguard was attacked at Venice Beach.

The detained trio was involved in a dispute, possibly over a woman, before the male lifeguard was attacked, according to CBS2.

The lifeguard sustained minor injuries in the attack, which was reported about 7:15 p.m., Rosario Herrera of the Los Angeles Police Department’s Media Relations Section said.

One suspect was also taken to a hospital, but that person’s condition was not immediately available, Herrera said.

Herrera had no details on what might have prompted the attack on the lifeguard.
