The last of four suspects sought in the March brutal beating of a Lyft driver on Highway 101 in San Francisco has been arrested, officials said Wednesday.

Quintrell Anderson, 22, of San Francisco was arrested Monday and booked into the San Francisco County Jail about 8:10 p.m. on suspicion of assault, assault with a deadly weapon, conspiracy, battery and vandalism, according to the California Highway Patrol.

His bail was set at $175,000. He is scheduled to appear in court Wednesday at 9 a.m., according to county records.

During the March 8 assault, more than a dozen bikers surrounded the car of Lyft driver Alex Quintana of Modesto near the Cesar Chavez Street exit and hit the mirrors and windows, officials said. When Quintana, who was headed to the airport to pick up a passenger, got out of his car, several bikers pummeled him and ran over his leg, breaking it, officials said.

Three other suspects — 33-year-old Derwayne A. Johnson, 25-year-old Gabriel Rodriguez and 19-year-old Jarrell E. Williams Jr., all of San Francisco — were arrested during simultaneo­us raids on their homes on June 14, according to the CHP. All have since entered not-guilty pleas, according to court records.

“We’re thankful to law enforcemen­t for their work to apprehend these suspects,” Lyft spokesman Scott Coriell said in a statement after Johnson, Rodriguez and Williams Jr. were arrested.

The four suspects were identified as those in videos of people assaulting Quintana, CHP Officer Vu Williams said.

A home where Anderson is believed to live was also raided on June 14, but he was not found until Monday, Williams said.
