Four Assaulted at Vacation Bible School
A man allegedly unlawfully entered through an open back door of the Graham Road Methodist Church at 2929 Graham Road and assaulted four people inside. Just after 12:30 p.m. on Tuesday, July 17, an employee of the church encountered the suspect just inside the door. The suspect immediately pushed the woman to the ground and punched her repeatedly, then ran to the basement of the church. He assaulted the bible school teacher and was eventually subdued by two men at the church. They were able to restrain the suspect until police arrived and took him into custody. Three victims and the suspect were transported to INOVA Fairfax Hospital with non life-threatening injuries. No weapon was seen or implied.
The suspect, Steven Rock, 54, of 2802 Summerfield Road in Falls Church, was charged with four counts of assault and battery, one count of unlawful entry and one count of disorderly conduct.
