Teens Chase Down, Assault Victim at Dumfries Park
Three teenagers were charged with attempted robbery after chasing and assaulting a 14-year-old in a Dumfries park Saturday, Prince William County Police said.
The 14, 15 and 16 year old males were all taken to the Juvenile Detention Center after allegedly robbing the other boy at Ginn Memorial Park around 4:36 p.m.
"The males asked the victim for money and, when he refused, the males chased the victim to a nearby parking lot. One of the males assaulted the victim before dispersing," police spokesman Officer Jonathan Perok said in a press release.
The teenagers did not take anything. Officers found them later, walking on Graham park Road.
