Teens yank 9-year-old off ATV, then hit her as she tries to hang on, Texas police say

Two teenagers are accused of yanking a 9-year-old girl off an ATV in a robbery, Texas police say.

The girl was riding the four-wheeler in Texarkana, when the suspects pulled her away from the vehicle, police say. They hit her hands as she clung to the handlebars while they began driving away, according to a news release.

The girl fell off the ATV, skinning both of her knees.

“Thankfully, she wasn’t hurt any worse than that,” police said in the news release.

Jaquavion Williams, 18, and Daquavious Akkard, 19, are wanted on aggravated robbery charges.

The ATV has not been found.
