Teens charged in assault on youth facility staff member
Five teenage girls living at a facility for at-risk youth were arrested for allegedly assaulting a staff member, Prince William County police said.
About 4 a.m. Sunday, police responded to a Youth For Tomorrow campus in Bristow. A 42-year-old staff member told police that five female residents attacked her by choking, scratching and punching her.
The teenagers also destroyed pieces of property before fleeing a dorm, and three of the girls assaulted a 15-year-old female resident while they were fleeing, police said.
A 15-year-old girl and two 16-year-old girls face charges for both assaults. One 16-year-old girl and one 14-year-old girl were charged in connection with the staff member’s assault.
Rottweiler bites woman in face
A woman was attacked by a Rottweiler in Montgomery County on Monday night, police said.
The owner’s daughter was walking the Rottweiler on the 2100 block of Rose Theater Circle in Olney. The dog was not controlled well on its leash and was able to bite another woman’s face, police spokeswoman Angela Cruz said.
The Associated Press reported that the woman will require extensive plastic surgery. The dog, which is said to have no history of biting or attacking people, is being quarantined at the owner’s home for 10 days.
Cruz said no charges had been filed at this time.
