Sandy Springs police used the surveillance footage to identify Catterton and located him later that night. Officers intercepted him while he was watching a concert at the City Springs venue and escorted him out in handcuffs.

What they're saying:

"Pushing kids off bicycles is not only unacceptable; it’s a quick way to meet our officers," the Sandy Springs Police Department said in a released statement. "If Mr. Catterton happens to be your neighbor, you may want to use caution."

Body camera footage from the arrest shows Catterton attempting to argue with officers, though his specific remarks were difficult to discern. Officers reportedly told Catterton he could "take that up with a judge."

What we don't know:

The condition of the two teenagers has not been formally released, though they were seen interacting with authorities following the incident. Catterton’s specific charges were not immediately available.
