White Marsh Aerosol Assaults: 2 Juveniles Arrested, Police Say

WHITE MARSH, MD — Two youths were arrested following an aerosol assault spree in White Marsh Sunday morning, according to police. Authorities allege the juveniles were taken into custody after a chase.

After 10 a.m., police said they were called to the area of Silver Spring Road and Honeygo Boulevard for reports of multiple assaults.

The youths were in a vehicle when they ambushed three people with aerosol, police said:

• One was sprayed through an open car window.
• Another was sprayed while jogging outside.
• A third had just walked out of her home when she was sprayed.

Upon seeing police, the youths tried to make a getaway, according to investigators. About 6 miles away on Perring Parkway near Taylor Avenue, officials reported the suspects crashed into another car. The driver of that vehicle was unharmed, officials said.

Although the two youths tried to run, police said officers arrested them "a short distance away."

Both juveniles are under investigation in connection with crimes that are unrelated to Sunday's crimes, according to police.
