Police Identify Woman Charged with Assault of Transgendered Woman at Rosedale McDonald's

Baltimore County police have identified an 18-year-old woman charged in the assault of a transgender woman in a Rosedale McDonald's last week.

Teonna Monae Brown, of the 2000 block of Kelbourne Road in Rosedale, faces first- and second-degree assault charges. She is currently being held at the Baltimore County Detention Center on $150,000 bail, according to a statement issued by police late Sunday.

Police say Brown and a 14-year-old girl are responsible for the April 18 in the McDonald's located in the 6300 block of Kenwood Avenue.

The first-degree assault charge is related to the attack on Polis. The second-degree assault charge is related to an assault on a woman who attempted to help Polis, according to the police department statement.

Brown was arrested shortly before 8 p.m. Friday.

The 14-year-old was arrested last week and charged as a juvenile.

The attack was video recorded by an employee of the restaurant and quickly went viral on the Internet. McDonald's issued a statement saying the employee who recorded the attack has been fired.

The video was removed from Youtube but can be viewed here. The video is violent and contains vulgar language and may not be suitable for younger viewers.

The attack has caused national outrage among the LGBT community, which has called for the attack to be investigated as a hate crime. To express their outrage, a coalition of transgender organizations is planning to host a rally at 7 p.m. on Monday in front of the McDonald's in Rosedale.
