Remind me to never step foot in Hawthorne, California.

(01-21) 20:10 PST Hawthorne, Calif. (AP) --

A bizarre series of events unfolded in Hawthorne after a deadly hit-and-run that ended with a man beaten by a mob.

Hawthorne police Lt. Gary Tomatoni said in a statement Friday that a minivan hit a man Wednesday night as he crossed Crenshaw Boulevard, and the driver fled the scene. The man was then run over by a second car, whose driver also failed to stop.

One of several people who ran to help the man was hit by a car herself.

Tomatoni says that driver stopped to help, but a mob of bystanders attacked him, beat him and stole his cell phone.

The first hit-and-run victim died at a hospital, the others are expected to be fine.

One man from the mob was arrested.

So I guess the moral of the story is - if you hit someone with your car, don't get out or you will get mob-attacked hah
