Three Texas teenagers have been taken into police custody after allegedly launching a coordinated attack on their mother in an attempt to kill her for turning off the Wi-Fi.

Houston law enforcement responded to an incident in northwest Harris County on Sunday night. There, they found a woman who had reportedly been attacked by her three teenage daughters.

The three teens, aged 14, 15 and 16, allegedly chased their mother around their house with kitchen knives, attempting to stab her for revoking their Wi-Fi access, reported Fox 26. The mother was hit after one of the teens reportedly threw a brick at her. The grandmother of the three siblings was reportedly pushed over while trying to protect their mother.

Neither the mother or grandmother suffered serious injuries in the attack.

"They're known for that in this neighborhood. There's always cops around that house," a neighbor told the outlet under the condition of anonymity. "I think that's so crazy. I mean it just tells how unstable that family is, and it's very sad for them."

All three siblings were charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. They are currently in custody at the the Harris County Juvenile Detention Center.
