Victoria's Secret Brawl: Police Investigate Assault in Pentagon City

Suspects paid for purchases before punching began, Arlington police say.

A 34-year-old woman was assaulted by two other women while in line at the Victoria's Secret in the Pentagon City mall this weekend, according to information Arlington County police released Monday.

The woman was standing in the checkout line shortly before 7 p.m. Saturday when two others cut in front of her, police spokesman Dustin Sternbeck told Patch. She confronted them, but they ignored her, he said.

The line-breakers continued to wait in line. They got to the check-out counter and paid for their purchases. Then, they turned around and began punching the woman they had jumped ahead of, Sternbeck said.
