A 15-year-old girl is safe after being attacked by a man known to her at the bus area of Paseo in Hagatna early today.

A Guam Police officer doing physical training there was flagged down by another child and caught the suspect.

Authorities say 43-year-old Craig Chiguina Brewer is arrested on suspicion of aggravated assault, assault, family violence, and child abuse. 

Police said Brewer used a butane can, allegedly hitting the child in the head.

She was treated on-site for her injuries.

Brewer’s criminal history goes back two decades where he was arrested multiple times on separate charges of theft, rioting child abuse, assault on a peace officer, and terrorizing.
