Prince William County police arrested two teenage girls last week who were involved in a Gainesville “fight club” that apparently drew teen girls from other parts of Northern Virginia.

The two 17-year-olds conspired to assault a 16-year-old girl with a baseball bat, according to a police report. The victim was treated at a local hospital after the April 9 assault.

The police did not release the names of the victim or suspects because they’re juveniles. One of the 17-year-olds arrested on Wednesdsay, April 15, is from Gainesville, and she’s been charged with malicious wounding. She’s being held at the Prince William Juvenile Detention Center, and her court date is pending.

The other 17-year-old, from Broad Run in Loudoun County, is charged with conspiracy to commit a felony. Her court date is pending, and her status is unavailable.

At 4:46 p.m. April 9, officers responded to an assault reported to have occurred earlier in the day in an area near the 14500 block of John Marshall Highway in Gainesville.

The victim, the 16-year-old girl from Fairfax, told police that she met two other female acquaintances in that area to watch a fight between two other female juveniles.

Once in the area, the victim said she was approached by one of the girls who was supposed to be in the fight. She then used a baseball bat to repeatedly strike the victim.

The victim was able to get away from the assailant and run to a nearby residence, police said. She contacted Prince William emergency paramedics, who transported the victim to an area hospital where police were contacted.

The officers were able to identify the suspect and also learned that one of the victim’s acquaintances had set up the encounter to have the victim assaulted, according to the police report.
