Prince William County Police are searching for Dylan Joseph Castle, 24, of Rockville, Md. for the alleged attack on two individuals from Manassas April 1.

Police describe Castle as a white male, 5 feet 11 inches, 200 lbs with a heavy build, short brown hair, blue eyes, unshaven face and multiple tattoos on his arms and chest.

According to the victim, a 23-year-old woman, the suspect confronted her and a male acquaintance  in the 12100 block of Livingston Road in Manassas Wednesday morning over an ongoing issue.

"During the encounter, the accused retrieved a pipe from his vehicle and approached the victim and a male acquaintance," police spokesman Jonathan Perok said. "As the victim attempted to get away from the accused, he used the pipe to smash windows belonging to two business and two vehicles. At one point, the accused grabbed the victim around her neck in attempt to strangle her."

The victim contacted police, but the suspect fled the area before they arrived.

"The victim reported minor injuries while the victim’s male acquaintance sustained a minor laceration from the glass," Perok said.

Officers obtained multiple warrants for the arrest of the accused following the investigation.

Castle is wanted for one count of attempted malicious wounding, one count of attempted strangulation, one count of assault & battery and four counts of destruction of property.
