YOUNGSTOWN — A juvenile girl was taken to the Mahoning County Juvenile Justice Center lockup on a possible felonious assault charge after a Thursday incident at a group home on Early Road on the East Side in which she caused a minor injury to one girl while trying to stab the ankles of another girl.

Police were called to the location around 8 p.m. for a stabbing and found the suspect being pinned against a wall by staff. She was crying and not responding to commands or directions. Officers took her into custody and placed her in a police cruiser.

One of the alleged victims told police the girls were talking about their families when the suspect became enraged regarding a pair of pants that she had given to another girl because she did not want them and they did not fit. The suspect’s father had given her the pants, a Youngstown police report states.

The suspect became enraged after learning that the victim did not want the pants and cut them up, the report states.

The suspect went into the office and tried to grab a pair of branch pruners “as she rambled about the office angry and upset,” an employee told police.

The suspect then grabbed scissors and moved toward the victim. Other juvenile residents warned the victim to run, but she did not do so. When the suspect reached her, the victim slammed the suspect to the ground. But the suspect still tried to stab the victim in the ankles, the report states.

The suspect was not able to injure that victim, but another juvenile who came over and grabbed the scissors from the suspect suffered a small cut on her pinky finger.
