Racial Slur Escalates to Robbery and Assault at Arundel Mills Cinemark, Police Seek SuspectsSource: Google Street View

At Arundel Mills Mall's Cinemark, a dispute took a violent turn on Wednesday afternoon, leading to robbery and assault charges. According to Anne Arundel County Police, two victims, both white males aged 19 and 18, encountered three suspects in what began as a verbal confrontation during a movie screening.

One of the victims yelled racial slurs at the suspects during a confrontation, which led to a fight. One victim reported a stolen wallet while his friend was injured and had to be taken to the University of Maryland Baltimore Washington Medical Center. The three suspects, described as Black males—one wearing a beanie, another in gray pants, and the third in glasses and a black sweatsuit—escaped before the police arrived.

Details about the suspects' descriptions have been disseminated in hopes that community members might recognize and help apprehend the culprits responsible for the disturbance on the 7000 block of Arundel Mills Mall.

They ask anyone knowledgeable about the incident to contact the Western District at 410-222-6155 or call the tip line anonymously at 410-222-4700.
