Assaults at agency

WARREN

Two Trumbull County Children Services employees reported being assaulted by a 17-year-old male at the agency Wednesday morning.

The male was taken by police to the Trumbull County Juvenile Justice Center as a result of the 10:20 a.m. incident, which occurred at the agency offices, 2282 Reeves Road NE.

The employees said the male became combative and threw elbows toward the victims, who were trying to restrain him. One of the employees fell backward, hitting her head on the wall, causing a two-inch laceration. She was taken by ambulance to ValleyCare Trumbull Memorial Hospital for stitches.
