Two women were pushed off a seaside cliff in a bizarre fight involving Marines in San Diego’s North County, officials said.
Carlsbad Police were investigating the fight between four people, including two Camp Pendleton Marines, just before 1 a.m. Tuesday along Carlsbad Boulevard near Cerezo Drive.
One of the Marines pushed two young women – one described as 18 years old – down a cliff, the victims told police. Officials initially estimated the women fell nine feet down the cliff but as of Wednesday, they updated that to 15 feet.
The women didn’t fall the entire length of the cliff but did suffer injuries. One woman broke her wrist and was taken by ambulance to Scripps La Jolla. The other injured her ankle in the fall.
The Marines involved were 20 and 21 years old and walked from the scene before emergency crews arrived, officers said.
Investigators said they were not sure what the fight was about or if the group knew each other before the incident. The group was believed to have been intoxicated before the fight, officers said.
