Surfer dies near Pier following aneurysm

A long-time member of the surfing community died of a brain

aneurysm Friday while surfing near the Huntington Beach Pier, police

said.

Carl Hayward, 48, of San Clemente, was not breathing when he was

pulled from the surf after other surfers noticed him face down in the

water south of the Pier at about 12:50 p.m., police said.

Lifeguards and paramedics performed CPR on Hayward and he was

transported to Hoag Hospital in Newport Beach where he was pronounced

dead, police said.

Bicycle not built for

two means confrontation

A dispute over a bicycle in the 15700 block of Goldenwest Street

on Sunday ended in a violent assault, police said.

One man hit another man with a knife handle at about 4 p.m. after

he was confronted for trying to steal a bike on the campus of Golden

West College, police said.

When John Hayen, of Midway City, confronted Steven Anderson, of

Santa Ana, police said that Anderson pulled out a knife and used the

knife handle to injure Hayen.

“It was obviously clear to the officers who took the report and

did the investigation that the bicycle did not belong to the

suspect,” said Sgt. Mike Kelly of the Huntington Beach Police

Department.

Though Anderson used a knife, Hayen did not suffer any stab

wounds, but did have several cuts on his face and the back of his

head, police said.

Hayen was transported to UCI Medical Center where he was treated

and released, police said.

Anderson was arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly

weapon, petty theft of the bicycle and for violation of his parole,

police said.

Department.

At 11:55 p.m. police received a call that a group of 25 or 30

people were fighting in the parking lot at TC’s Cocktail Lounge,
