Three bikini-clad women have been charged with assault and battery by a mob after pummeling another woman who was sunbathing alongside the Saluda River in Columbia, S.C., earlier this month.
The Columbia Police Department announced Monday that charges had been filed against Arlinda Craft, 18, Anns Leigh Hill, 19, and Megan Williams, 20 for their attack on a 20-year-old female on March 15.
Police spokeswoman Jennifer Timmons said that “Possible additional charges are being evaluated. We have consulted with the 5th Circuit Solicitor regarding the case.”
The State newspaper reports that Williams and Craft knew the victim from school where they bullied her.
The police report notes that the victim was at the river with another friend when the attack occurred. According to the report, one of the perpetrators began the attack by pulling the victim’s hair before throwing her to the ground.
Once on the ground, the video shows the other attackers punching and slapping the victim on the face and body.
“Have a good fucking time at the river,” one of the perpetrators told the victim as the beating concluded.
As a result of the attack, the victim suffered a concussion and a broken nose.
