To the best of my recollection there were several people in kayaks and one
jetski with two people aboard circling them several times until at least one
kayak capsized. No one was hurt although at least one kayak had to be taken
to shore (where they were headed when the jetski started harassing them) for
re-entry. They got the registration numbers on the jetski and found it and
the operator and arrested him. I don't know what happened after that and I
can't find references on Google.

But, just for some information, I did find quite a few references to
capsized kayakers being rescued by jetski operators.
