A fourth minor was arrested in connection with an assault on a 13-year-old girl who was found unconscious inside a Owings Mills home on Monday, police said.
The Baltimore County Police Department said in a news release that officers arrived at a home on Spectator Lane around 8:25 p.m. where they found the girl unconscious and suffering from non-life-threatening injuries. The girl was not found inside her own home, police said.
She was taken to the hospital and later released, according to the news release.
Police said on Tuesday that three minors were arrested in connection to the first-degree assault.
On Thursday, the department said that a fourth minor, a 12-year-old boy, was also charged with first- and second-degree assault.
All suspects in the incident range in age from 12 to 14, according to police. A video was shared widely to social media depicting what happened, WJZ reported.

Nicole Bridges, principal of Pikesville Middle School, said in a letter to parents that some of the suspects were students at the school but not the victim. Bridges said in the letter that the video being share online was “deeply troubling” and the students would receive “serious school consequences.”
“We hold our students to the highest standards, and dangerous behaviors will not be tolerated,” she said.
Baltimore County Police and Baltimore County Public Schools are investigating the incident.
