Teen suspected in attack on ex-girlfriend
PASADENA -- A 17-year-old boy was arrested Thursday after allegedly beating up his ex-girlfriend as she arrived at work, authorities said.
The incident occurred shortly before 8 p.m. to the rear of Le Sex Shoppe, 45 E. Colorado Boulevard, Pasadena police Lt. Randell Taylor said.
The suspect, a Los Angeles resident, apparently waited at the Pasadena store until his ex-girlfriend, a 20-year-old Los Angeles resident, arrived, the lieutenant said.
The suspect, upset about a recent breakup, reportedly then beat her up, Taylor said.
The woman was punched, kicked, thrown to the ground and had her hair pulled, he said.
She refused medical treatment, he added.
During a search of the suspect's backpack, police found a fake gun and brass knuckles, neither of which were believed to have been used in Thursday's incident, Taylor said.
The teen suspect, whose name was not released due to his age, was booked on suspicion of assault and felony stalking and sent to Juvenile Hall, he said.
