Man assaulted by a large group on the edge of campus

An 18-year-old Maryland resident was attacked by a group of 15 to 20 underage males near the corner of 24th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue on Saturday night, according to a Metropolitan Police Department crime report.

The victim, who does not attend GW, said he was walking to the movie theater in Georgetown when the group of young men, who were estimated to be between 15 and 18 years old, approached him around 9:30 p.m. The MPD report states that the assailants grabbed the victim around the neck and demanded his watch.

He refused to give it to them, and the suspects started punching and kicking him. He fell to the ground and members of the group continued to kick him, breaking his left leg, and stole the Casio G-Shock Watch, estimated to be worth $110, according to the report.

The suspects fled east on Pennsylvania Avenue and the victim was treated at GW Hospital for his broken shinbone.
