Woman charged with trying to throw boy off California bridge

Authorities say a 23-year-old woman has been charged with attempted murder for allegedly trying to push a high school cross-country runner off a bridge in Southern California.

The Orange County Sheriff's Department says the boy's teammates were able to fight off the woman after she assaulted two of them Aug. 23 in Ladera Ranch.

Officials say during the assault, the suspect grabbed one of the boys and attempted to throw him over the railing onto a roadway below.

Prosecutors say Stephanie Redondo also faces battery and assault charges. Authorities described her as a transient.

Nobody was seriously hurt in the incident.
