The Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) has announced an arrest for an assault case that occurred on Dec. 20.
At approximately 6:25 a.m., the victim agreed to meet the suspect using an online dating app. The suspect came to a hotel on the unit block of E Street, NW.
Once inside the victim’s room, the suspect brandished a handgun and attempted to commit a sexual act. The victim struggled, and the gun discharged, hitting both the suspect and the victim. Both individuals were transported to local hospitals for non-life threatening injuries.
On the same day, the 32 year-old suspect was arrested and charged with assault with intent to commit first-degree sexual abuse and assault with a dangerous weapon.
