On June 28, Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) officers arrested a suspect in connection to an assault that occurred on the 4300 block of Nannie Helen Burroughs Avenue, NE.
The defendant, a 31-year-old man, allegedly assaulted a man with a wooden stick inside a Shell gas station. The victim, injured and bleeding heavily from a wound on his head, flagged down officers, who called for medical assistance.
Believing he matched the description of the suspect as seen in video footage of the incident, officers arrested the defendant.
According to court documents, police say the defendant told them the assault was in response to the victim “disrespecting his family.”
The defendant has been charged with simple assault and possession of a prohibited weapon. He is scheduled for a hearing on June 29.
