Teen wanted in mall guard slashing turns himself in

A teenager whom the police say stabbed a security guard in Providence Place mall turned himself in this morning.

Providence Police Capt. Hugh Clements said 19-year-old Anthony Osorio came to the police station this morning at about 8 a.m.

Clements said the police had been working the case since the incident on April 20 when, they say, four shoplifting suspects were approached by security guards. According to the police account, Osorio slashed one of the guards in the neck with a folding knife.

After airing videotape of the suspects and asking the public for help, the police secured a warrant for Osorio.

Clements said Osorio turned himself in as a result of cooperation from his family.

Osorio is scheduled for arraignment on two charges of felony assault today at 2 p.m.
