Surveillance camera captures suspect in DC knife attack

1WASHINGTON, D.C. — A man who allegedly slashed another during a late-night dispute in Northwest is now the subject of a police search, with investigators releasing surveillance images to help track him down.

The incident took place shortly before midnight on Sunday, December 29, in a residence on the 1600 block of Columbia Road NW. According to police, a disagreement over money escalated when the suspect pulled a knife and cut the victim’s hand before fleeing with the victim’s belongings.

The injury was described as minor, but the assault has triggered an investigation into both the physical attack and the reported theft.

The suspect was recorded on nearby surveillance cameras, and those images have since been made public as authorities ask for help identifying the individual involved
