Jasmine Denisha Garcia, 36, also of Manassas, and Anthony Agguire were both previously arrested.

At approximately 12:45 a.m. on Feb. 12, officers from the Prince William County Police Department were called to the 4300 block of Sudley Road, where there were reports of a group that wound up involved in an altercation that rapidly escalated. 

Police say that during the fracas, a 31-year-old woman was assaulted, and a 25-year-old man had a knife held to his neck before another person took out a gun and held it to his head.

The fight was broken up and the victims were able to flee to a neighbor's home to contact the police. 

Anthony Aguirre was arrested inside the home and found in possession of a gun and ammunition.
