3 Attacked While Waiting In Line At Crystal City Restaurant

ARLINGTON, VA — Arlington County Police are looking for a man they say maliciously wounded three people early Sunday morning at a Crystal City restaurant, according to the daily crime report.

Officers responded around 1:42 a.m., to the 2300 block of S. Eads Street after a reported assault. A preliminary investigation revealed three victims were confronted by an unknown man as they were waiting in a line inside a restaurant. The man pushed the first victim, causing him and the second victim to fall to the ground. He then began to assault the first victim. When the third victim tried to intervene, he was also struck by the unknown man. The suspect then left the restaurant before police arrived. Medics treated the three victims at the restaurant for non-life-threatening injuries.

Police described the suspect as a white man with black hair. He stood 5-foot-9 to 6 feet and weighed about 180-200 pounds. This remains an active investigation.
