Man attacked with club on New Hampshire Avenue

A 27-year-old man was attacked by a club-wielding assailant on New Hampshire Avenue outside of a 7-Eleven store last month, according to a Metropolitan Police incident report.

The victim was in front of the store at 6:45 p.m. on July 24 when a 31-year-old male threatened him. The victim reported that the attacker stated, “He’s not going anywhere,” and opened a 23-inch, black, expandable baton in a threatening manner.

The victim suffered a laceration to his forehead and an abrasion to his right elbow and right knee, but refused treatment. The attacker, who was placed under arrest for assault with a deadly weapon, suffered a small laceration to his forehead and was transported to the United Medical Center.
