Man hospitalized after assault in Northeast D.C.
A man was assaulted with a broken bottle in Northeast D.C. Saturday night, according to a police report.
The victim was sitting on a park bench on the 1500 block of Benning Road at 11:50 p.m. Saturday when two black men, estimated to be about 20 to 30 years old, approached him, according to Officer Anthony Clay, a spokesman with the D.C. police. Both men attacked — one with a bottle, and the victim was taken to the hospital with several injuries to the head, face and neck. Clay said he did not know the victim’s current condition.
The police have not yet arrested either man, though the victim knows their identities, said Clay. One suspect’s first name is Tony, and he has dreadlocks. Clay did not know his last name or the name of the other assailant.
