A police officer saw four men beating a man who appeared to be unconscious outside Fatty J’s bar in Fredericksburg after it had closed at 1:06 a.m. Saturday, the Fredericksburg Free-Lance Star reports.
Two of the attackers fled when they saw the police officer, but two others were arrested.
Many of the residents welcomed firefighters from OWL Volunteer Fire Department into their homes, and supplied new batteries to put into their smoke and carbon monoxide alarms.
“Eighty percent of child fire fatalities occur in homes without working smoke alarms. It’s a tragic statistic that could be reduced by adopting the simple habit of the changing your battery when you change your clocks” said OWL VFD Chief Jim McAllister.
The victims, a 29-year-old woman from Alexandria and 29-year-old man from Woodbridge, were sitting in their car in the 13400 block of U.S. 1, near Station Plaza and Woodbridge VRE station, when two men approached at 3:23 p.m. and demanded they get out of the car.
One of the men showed a gun and both victims exited the vehicle, said Prince William police spokesman Jonathan Perok.
