<sH>Seeking Suspects in Assault
<bt>The Sheriff's Office is investigating an alleged assault that occurred Monday evening. Some time between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m., Nov. 20, a 16-year-old was walking in the area of Rachel Hill Drive and Laidlow Drive in South Riding when he was attacked by several unknown assailants. The victim believes the suspects were speaking a foreign language and they appeared to be in their late teens.
"It isn't clear what led to the assault," Kraig Troxell, the Sheriff's Office spokesperson, said. "The victim said he was just walking down the street when they approached him."
Troxell said it is also not clear whether the incident was gang related, but that the incident is under investigation.
The teenage victim was taken to the Lansdowne campus of Inova Loudoun Hospital where he was treated for his injuries.

The Dulles Greenway is a privately owned 14-mile toll road that connects Washington Dulles International Airport with Leesburg. The owners, Toll Road Investors Partnership II L.P., propose a price schedule that contains incremental increases in the maximum toll for two-axle vehicles over five years. The maximum base toll for cars would rise from $3, as now authorized to be effective July 1, to $4 as of Jan. 1, 2012.
Toll Road Investors also seek permission to implement congestion management price premiums that would permit the maximum base toll to be increased by about 20 percent for weekday peak period traffic traveling in the peak direction.
