The man who allegedly pushed a random passerby in front of an oncoming truck has been charged -- and he's accused of attacking two others this week, as well, prosecutors said.

Garrett Boldt, a transient, was arrested for a series of attacks in Los Angeles this week which appeared to be "random and unprovoked," the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office said Friday.

The push in front of the oncoming truck Wednesday morning was caught on shocking surveillance video acquired by ABC Los Angeles station KABC. It shows a man sitting on a bench by the sidewalk. He jumps toward one woman and startles her, before sitting back down.

But as the next passerby, a man in a suit, walks by, the man is seen jumping off the bench and shoving him into the street right as a truck is pulling up.
