The Metropolitan Police Department is requesting the help of the community to identify a suspect involved in an assault that occurred on L Street in Northwest D.C. The incident took place on Wednesday, and the police were called to the scene at about 11:58 p.m., where they found an adult male victim with injuries. MPD's news release describes the suspect as having approached the man, committed the assault, and then fled the area.
First responders, including DC Fire and Emergency Medical Services, were dispatched to provide aid to the victim, who was later transported to a local hospital for further treatment. A reward of up to $1,000 is being offered by the police department to anyone who can supply information leading to an arrest and indictment of the suspect. In an effort to apprehend the individual responsible, the Metropolitan Police have released a photo captured by surveillance cameras near the site of the assault.
