2 teens suspected in attack of guards

Two teenagers are accused of attacking two guards at a juvenile detention facility in northern Butler County.

Both alleged victims — a 22-year-old Fenelton man and a 33-year-old Hilliards man — suffered minor injuries in the weekend incident at the Western PA Child Care on Route 38 in Allegheny Township, state police said.

Authorities did not identify the employees or the suspects, 15- and 16-year-old boys, both detainees at the facility. The altercation happened about 6 p.m. Sunday.

Police said both youths face felony assault and other charges. A police report provided no other information.

Mid-Atlantic Youth Services owns the secured facility that houses males and females from ages 16 to 21 who have been placed there following court disposition of their juvenile cases.

A telephone call to the facility this morning was referred to Tim McCulley, human resources manager. McCulley was not immediately available.
