“Robbery Snatch- 8th and D Street, NW:

On today’s date [Tuesday], the complainant was at 8th and D Street, NW with her cellphone in her hand, when a group of teenagers approached her. A black female snatched her phone out of her hand and ran. Shortly afterwards, one of the males in the group came back and told the complainant that for $20, he’d get her phone back. The complainant went to the ATM and took the $ 20 out and gave it the male. The male took off with the money and caught up with the group and was last seen heading N/B on 8th Street, NW.

Anyone with additional information, please contact the 1st District Detective’s Office.”

Thanks to a few readers for sending – WJLA reports:

“A decorated war veteran is recovering after a brutal attack Friday night. He says it happened at a McDonald’s on 911 E St., N.W., D.C.”

The Daily Caller previously reported:

Christopher Marquez, a veteran of Iraq and recipient of the Bronze Star for valor, said he was dining at a McDonald’s in northwest D.C. when a group of black teenagers came up to him and allegedly began harassing him about the black lives matter movement. Marquez ignored them which prompted calls and shouts that he was a racist.

Marquez left the establishment after eating, but allegedly sustained a sudden blow to the back of his head outside the McDonald’s, which knocked him unconscious. When he woke up, his pants were ripped and wallet gone, which contained $400 in cash, three credit cards, his VA medical card, school identification, metro card and driver’s license.
