Police: Metal Rod Used in Attack, Three Arrested

A gathering in Manassas escalated and lead to three arrests, according to the Prince William County Police.

Officers responded to the 8100 block Peakwood Court at 1:38 a.m. Tuesday for a burglary. One of the accused, Brianna O’Toole 18, and another female had been at the apartment for a gathering earlier. The resident asked the two to leave for causing problems, PWCPD reports.

O’Toole and the female acquaintance returned to the apartment a few hours later with several males, according to police. The group allegedly forced their way into the apartment and assaulted two of the occupants with a blunt metal rod, PWCPD reports. The victims were identified as a 17-year-old male juvenile of Manassas Park and a 21-year-old female of Manassas.

The group had left before police arrived on the scene and non-threatening injuries were reported. O’Toole was arrested later that day along with one adult and one juvenile who are suspected to be involved in the incident.

O’Toole and the 17-year-old suspect are each charged with two counts of malicious wounding and one count of burglary while armed. Nashuran Abdullah, 18, is charged with one count of burglary while armed. Both adults are being held without bond and will appear in court on March 17. The juvenile is being held at the Juvenile Detention Center with a pending court date.
