Blame it on Facebook.
A Lumberton woman has been charged with aggravated assault after a fight with a pregnant woman triggered by Facebook postings, police said.
Samar Sawaged, 21, went to the victim's Lumberton home with two friends Saturday night. The friends stayed in the car while Sawaged and the 20-year-old victim argued on the sidewalk, Lumberton Detective Sgt. Tony DiLoreto said.
A fight erupted by the roadside. Both women were injured, suffering bruises and scrapes on their faces, DiLoreto said. The victim sought treatment at Virtua Memorial Hospital and was released. Sawaged did not seek medical help, authorities said.
The dustup stemmed from comments posted on Facebook about a month ago, DiLoreto said. The two, who had been friends, then starting trading insults, he said.
Police did not release details of the postings.
Sawaged was charged with aggravated assault Sunday, then released pending a court appearance. She also signed a counter-complaint against the victim for simple assault, police said.
Anyone with information about the altercation may call the Lumberton Township Special Investigations Unit at 609-267-1111 or 609-267-8300.
