ARLINGTON, VA — An altercation that began Monday evening at a Lyon Park business became physical and left two victims injured, according to the Arlington County Police Department's daily crime report.

A victim in need of assistance flagged down ACPD officers around 5:40 p.m., in the 2700 block of Washington Blvd. Police determined that a dispute between multiple individuals inside a business had escalated, with one of the women involved producing a knife.
