On June 3 at 12:55PM, the School Resource Officer (SRO) assigned to Freedom High School located at 15201 Neabsco Mills Rd. in Woodbridge (22191) was contacted by school personnel regarding an assault between students. The investigation revealed the victim, identified as a 15-year-old male student and the accused, identified as a 17-year-old male student, were involved in an ongoing altercation in the hallway which escalated. During the encounter, the accused punched the victim before he was kicked in the head multiple times. School personnel separated the involved parties when two other students, a 15-year-old male student and another 17-year-old male student began striking the victim. School personnel eventually separated all parties. The victim initially received treatment from the school nurse before being transported to an area hospital with non-life-threatening injuries later that day. During the investigation, officers determined that all parties were known to each other. Following the investigation, officers sought petitions against the two 17-year-old male students and the 15-year-old male student. After consultation with Juvenile Court Services, the case resulted in an informal action and will be handled through the juvenile diversion process.
