The Ocoee Police Department was called to Valerie Rose Way and Douglas Edward Drive after a couple came across children riding their e-bikes and cut them off.
Police said the passenger, Angelique Norwood, then got out of the car and approached the teens as if she “wanted to fight them.”
Meanwhile, as one of the 13-year-old boys was trying to cross the street with his e-bike, the driver, Todd Norwood, struck him and fled the scene, claiming "fear clouded his judgment." He left his wife at the scene.
Police said the teen’s e-bike was damaged beyond repair, but the boy was able to jump off it in time. He sustained no injuries.
Todd Norwood claimed the children were driving reckless, and the 13-year-old boy had jumped in front of his car.
Videos taken by witnesses show that was not the case.
Todd Norwood later was arrested and faces charges of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and criminal mischief, and his wife also faces a charge of battery.
