The SUV with two men inside followed the teen several blocks before running him off the road at Hamlet Avenue and Belleview Boulevard. The passenger got out of the SUV, tackled the teen, and started beating him, according to police.
The victim had minor injuries to his hands and face according to Clearwater Police.
Officials said the passenger was a bald white male, wearing a black shirt and jeans with full arm tattoos and possibly a neck tattoo. The driver was a white male with salt-and-pepper hair who wore glasses and appeared to be in a security uniform.
