The Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) is seeking suspects in connection with an assault that occurred on a police officer and a destruction of property offense on Oct. 27.

At around 7:00 p.m., a crowd gathered outside the MPD Fourth District station on the 6000 block of Georgia Avenue, NW.

According to an MPD press release, the individuals began throwing projectiles, rocks, bricks and improvised explosive devices at MPD officers as well as the police station. MPD vehicles were damaged and four windows of the station were shattered.

The group then left the station and headed south on Georgia Avenue, setting fires, smashing storefront windows and pulling bricks from the sidewalk to use as projectiles.

One of the suspects believed to be responsible for the assault on the police officer can be seen in the photo below.

Suspects in the destruction of property offenses can also be seen in the photos below.
