A reader reports last night:
“I was robbed and assaulted at knifepoint in the Petworth/Georgia Ave metro station around 6:30pm [Thursday.] Two guys were waiting outside the train when I got off, one followed me to the escalator and put a knife to my side and asked for my phone. I said no, we fought, the other guy joined when it wasn’t a quick transaction. The first guy tried to stab me in the stomach but he had a utility swiss army knife and it wasn’t sharp. Eventually they got the phone after a few punches to the head, another guy who saw it happening got the knife and gave it to the station manager who called transit police. (more…)

A reader reports:
“There were gunshots this morning in the alleyway near 9th and Emerson Streets NW at around 11:30am. The shots were fired from a gray SUV that was moving through the alleyway. It was three shots fired in rapid succession, and my guess is that they came from an automatic rifle. MPD is on the scene now. Apparently, they were firing the gun into the air from the sunroof.” (more…)

From a press release:
“Chef Alfredo Solis has transformed his critically acclaimed restaurant, Anafre, into a pizzeria serving up Mexican-inspired pizzas.
Like many restaurants in DC right now, Anafre must adapt to stay afloat. The Mexican street food at Solis’ other restaurants, Mezcalero and El Sol, has proven to be a comfort to residents in times of uncertainty, but the seafood-heavy menu at Anafre doesn’t work as well for pandemic times. (more…)
