FORT MILL, S.C. – Eight individuals, including several juveniles, are facing charges following a disturbing mob attack on a 17-year-old girl at a local gas station last month, WSOC-TV reported. The incident took place at a 7-Eleven on Doby’s Bridge Road and involved a large group of young people who surrounded and assaulted the teenager’s car and the victim.
According to the WSOC-TV report, the altercation appears to have stemmed from an argument related to past conflicts. The 17-year-old victim informed police that another girl attempted to pull her from her vehicle, resulting in injuries. Video footage of the incident reportedly shows a significant number of teenagers swarming the victim’s car, with some even climbing onto it.
The Fort Mill Police Department has filed various charges against the eight individuals, including simple assault and disorderly conduct. Among those charged are two 18-year-olds, Morgan Bagshaw and Brayden Cook, both of whom are facing liquor law violations.
