Police blotter: Two people assaulted at Huntington-area home on Wednesday

Two people sitting in their screened-in porch were assaulted by a pair of strangers during a mid-afternoon incident Wednesday in Huntington, according to today’s Fairfax County Police blotter.

The two victims — police did not specify their age or gender — were approached at a house in the 5800 block of Blaine Drive (see map) around 3 p.m. by the two men. The men told the victims that someone sent them to buy a tree, but the victims told the men they had the wrong address and asked them to leave, according to police.

The men left but quickly returned, police said. They then ignored another request to leave the property before attacking the victims — with at least one of the men wielding a crowbar during the assault, according to a police spokesman. After the victims screamed, the assailants ran to their car and left.

The victims did not suffer serious injuries and declined medical treatment at the scene, according to the police spokesman.

One of the attackers was described as a tall black male with a muscular build, short hair and a beard. The other was described as a black male with an open scar or scab near one of his eyes. He was also wearing a lime green workers vest, police said.
