Three men and one woman got into an argument with two men on San Luis Rey Place at 2:30 a.m. on Saturday, May 21, police said.
The fight moved into the alley near Strandway at Asbury Court where it was captured on surveillance video.
One USD student was knocked to the ground, beaten and kicked. His head was stomped on the concrete and the blow caused a brain bleed and a concussion, police said.
