Metropolitan Police Department officers arrested a man outside District House Friday, per an MPD report.

Officers reportedly advised the suspect — who appeared to be wearing a GW Dining uniform — to leave the basement of District House “numerous times” at 11:40 a.m. Friday after he was previously barred, but he refused. An MPD officer began to arrest the suspect for unlawful entry when the employee pulled his arms away and balled his hands into fists, then grabbed a uniformed GW Police Department officer on scene and brought him to the ground, the report states.

The report states that the fall caused pain to the GWPD officer’s right shoulder and knee.

Officers then arrested the suspect for unlawful entry, assault on a police officer misdemeanor and resisting arrest and transported him to MPD’s Second District precinct.
