Rosedale Woman Indicted In McDonald's Transgender Assault

A Baltimore County circuit court grand jury indicted Teonna Monae Brown on assault and hate crime charges in connection with last month's attack on a transgendered woman at a McDonald's in Rosedale.

The jury issued the indictment Monday morning, according to the Baltimore County State's Attorney's office.

Brown, 18, and a 14-year-old girl were each arrested and charged in the April 18 attack on Chrissy Polis, a transgendered woman from Dundalk and Essex. She was using a bathroom at a Rosedale McDonald's.

Prosecutors have said that no one else will be charged in connection with the incident.

A video of the assault went viral on YouTube,receiving hundreds of thousands of hits in the week that followed and spawning a rally in support of the victim at the fast-food restaurant on Kenwood Avenue.

Brown was also indicted on charges involving Vicky Thoms, the 55-year-old Rosedale resident who tried to stop the attack.
