A suspect has been taken into custody by the Metropolitan Police Department following a violent altercation in Southeast. Last Saturday afternoon, the calm was broken when officers arrived at the 1100 block of 2nd Place, Southeast in response to a reported assault; they found a man bearing the weight of serious injuries, and he was promptly transported by DC Fire and EMS to a hospital, though his injuries were deemed non-life-threatening.

The incident stemmed from a dispute that turned physical, with the suspect known to the victim. The Metropolitan Police Department, thorough in their pursuit of justice, did not delay in charging 48-year-old Christopher Moore, a resident of Southeast D.C., with Aggravated Assault — a serious charge for a serious crime. 

Details provided by the Metropolitan Police Department confirm that the suspect was arrested right there on the scene.
