From MPD:

“Detectives from the Metropolitan Police Department’s Homicide Branch announced an arrest has been made in an aggravated assault which occurred in the 2000 block of S Street NW.

On Sunday, October 27, 2013, at approximately 4:15 am, members of the Second District received a call for the report of an assault in the 2000 block of S Street, Northwest. Upon their arrival, Second District members located an adult male lying unconscious on the sidewalk. Personnel from DC Fire and Emergency Medical Services transported him to a local hospital where he was admitted and remains hospitalized.

The investigation has revealed that the male complainant was assaulted in the 2000 block of S Street, Northwest, by one of two males. Two individuals moved the complainant from the middle of the 2000 block of S Street to the sidewalk where he was located by police.

On Friday, November 1, 2013, 38-year-old James Brown of Southeast, DC, was charged with Aggravated Assault, pursuant to a District of Columbia Superior Court Arrest Warrant in connection with this offense. He was arrested by members of the Homicide Branch.”
