Man Assaults Same Woman 6 Months Apart In Woodbridge: Police

WOODBRIDGE, VA — Authorities are looking for a man who left a woman hospitalized after assaulting her Sunday in the 2900 block of Wetherburn Court, according to Prince William County Police. He already had been wanted for assaulting the same woman last summer at the same address.

Marcus Allen Mays, 32, of no fixed address, is wanted for malicious wounding in the latest incident and abduction, assault and battery and destruction of property in the first incident. He's described as black, 5-9, 210 pounds with brown eyes and black hair.

Around 4:45 a.m., police arrived at the scene for a possible domestic incident after a caller reported an unknown man and woman arguing. Both of them fled upon seeing police but the woman eventually was found with injuries to her upper body. She said she and Mays had been involved in an argument that escalated, during which he assaulted her.

Further investigation found that Mays was the same man who was wanted for assaulting the woman early on July 17. In that incident, a fight led to her assault, after which she locked herself in a bathroom. Police say he kicked in the door and put the woman in a headlock. He later fled.

Anyone with information is urged to call police at 703-792-6500.
