MANASSAS - A 15-year-old male from Manassas has been arrested for attacking five women in the Coverstone Drive area, say Prince William County (web | news) authorities.

Five women were attacked in the area from the end of August until Tuesday. In each of the cases, a woman was walking or stepping out of a car when she was grabbed and/or punched by a man. Police also say the suspect attempted to sexually assault one woman. At least two of the victims suffered injuries and were treated at a local hospital.

The victims range in age from 25 to 36-years-old.

Shortly before 6 p.m. Tuesday, police say a man called the police to report an incident when a call about the assault of a woman was received. An officer noticed the man who called matched the description of the suspect in the attack of the woman. Police said
he attacked a woman from behind and began punching and biting her.

After further investigation, police charged the man with three counts of abduction, five counts of malicious wounding, one count of sexual battery, and one count of attempted rape.

The suspect is being held without bond and is awaiting a hearing in the Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court.
