Three of the nine middle school students accused of attacking a woman have been dropped.
Prosecutors in Baltimore say charges have been dropped for three of the nine middle school students accused of attacking a woman aboard a Maryland Transit bus.
During a hearing Thursday, prosecutors said only six defendants remain charged in the Dec. 4 assault of 26-year-old Sarah Kreager, her boyfriend and the bus driver.
The attack occurred aboard the No. 27 bus soon after classes dismissed for the day at Robert Poole Middle School.
Kreager suffered two broken bones in her left eye socket.
Defense attorneys are seeking to have the students' statements to investigators suppressed. Another hearing is scheduled for Monday.
