"to bring him to justice"???

What does he want from him? Yes, the BMXer was a jerk and did commit battery, but I doubt the cops and the courts really give a damn about this sort of thing.

Sure, he's deserving of prosecution, but think about this for a second: You walk into a police station with this video, and a name (assuming he figures out who it is), and the statement the person of interest looks a lot like this odd angle of a face in the video and rides a bike that looks the same. And for the sake of argument, let's say this all happens two weeks after the incident. What do you suppose the police will do? Maybe take a report, say that they'll look into it, and promptly forget it.
