It was the 8-year-old girl s mom who managed to call 911, even though she’d been stabbed. Prince William County Police said officers arrived at the Dominion Ridge Apartments complex on Meandering Way to find Molina carrying a blood-covered child down the stairs. The man put the girl on the ground and then struck her several times, police said.
Neighbors said the noise woke them up. One said she was horrified by the sight of the child bleeding on the ground. It was terrifying. I had never seen anything like that, she said.
An officer pulled Molina off his daughter; then the suspect began struggling with that officer, police said. Molina continued to fight officers as they tried to force him into two separate cruisers, police said. Eventually, they put him in a police van.
