Teenager Seriously Injured After Being Attacked Near Vinita High School

The Craig County Sheriff’s Office is asking for information after they said a teenager was attacked near Vinita High School.

They said the victim fought off the armed attacked but was taken to the hospital with serious injuries.

Investigators said just before 10 p.m. Tuesday night, a teenager was attacked near 4390 Road and 250 Road. They said the teenager fought off the attacker, climbed a barbed-wire fence, ran into a field, and hid in the tall grass until help arrived.
