Overview
- A 13-year-old girl was found unconscious inside a home on Spectator Lane and taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries that led to her later release; the attack occurred May 18.
- Baltimore County police arrested three girls ages 12 to 14 and charged them with assault, and the department released the juveniles to their parents after processing.
- Two of the suspects attend Pikesville Middle School while the victim is not a student there, and Principal Nicole Bridges notified families that involved students will face school consequences and have access to counseling.
- A video of the assault circulated widely on social media and among students, drawing neighborhood alarm and prompting police to ask anyone with information to call 410-887-1279 or 410-887-4636.
- The investigation remains active as police search for at least one more suspect, and the case has prompted closer coordination between Baltimore County police and school safety officials that could lead to tightened student supervision and referral to juvenile authorities.
