Three Montgomery County teens have been arrested on charges that they robbed and attacked two people in separate incidents earlier this month.
Police said the first attack was the night of May 5, when five people were caught on surveillance video beating a man in an apartment building stairwell on the 1300 block of Georgia Avenue in Silver Spring. They broke the man’s ribs and took his cash, police said.
On May 15, they attacked another victim at the intersection of Georgia and Connecticut avenues in Silver Spring, police said. That victim was not seriously injured and escaped by approaching a passing motorist.
Authorities are looking for at least one other teen believed to have been involved in the attacks.
