Three juveniles, one woman assault two victims in Columbia

Columbia police officers were dispatched to an assault-in-progress on Tuesday in the 5200 block of Brown Station Road.

The juvenile suspect and the other girls waited for the juvenile victim to get home with her mother. The juveniles were seen on video allegedly taunting the victims while they were inside the car.

Snyder and the female suspect were able to get inside the vehicle through an unlocked driver’s side door and assaulted the juvenile victim while the mother was on the phone with 9-1-1. The juvenile victim received injuries to her face.
