The Metropolitan Police Department is urgently requesting aid from members of the community to help identify a suspect linked to an aggravated assault that took place in Northwest Washington. The assault, which left three people injured, occurred in the early hours of July 13, according to the Metropolitan Police Department.
Responding to a call at about 3:00 a.m., officers arrived at the 1100 block of U Street, Northwest, only to discover that a sizable group had initiated an attack on the victims. It was only due to the intervention of some good Samaritans that the assault was halted. The victims were subsequently transported to a local hospital by DC Fire and EMS, the police department reported.
In an effort to swiftly apprehend those responsible, the Metropolitan Police has extended an offer of up to $1,000 for information that leads to an arrest and indictment in connection with this crime. MPD has opened channels for anonymous tips to be submitted either by calling (202) 727-9099 or by texting the Department's TEXT TIP LINE at 50411.
Authorities urge anyone who can positively identify the suspect, or who possesses knowledge regarding the aggressions of that night, to take no immediate action themselves but instead to contact the police with any pertinent information. Further updates on the investigation is expected as new information comes to light. Details on this incident can also be found on the MPD's official website.
