A motorist was viciously attacked in his car by a group of men who punched him in the head a dozen times before a woman poured liquid on him.

The man was ambushed on U Street in downtown Washington, D.C., as he was stuck in traffic on Wednesday night.

He was prevented from leaving by people standing in front of his car as one of the attackers pulled open the door and started punching him.

The assailant then grabbed his legs and tried to pull him out of the car so the whole group could bash him on the ground.

Another man landed another flurry of blows as he begged them to stop

The driver held on to his upholstery for dear life and managed to resist being dragged out, so the attackers just started punching him again.

The first one was joined by a second, and he then leaned inside the car and ganged up on the driver who desperately tried to protect his face with his hands.

The video cut to a woman in a pink jumper pouring liquid on the driver, before another man landed another flurry of blows as he begged them to stop.

A man claimed on Instagram that the man was attacked because he was ‘recording my little sister.’

However, he later made another post retracting her accusation and confirming the driver did nothing to deserve the beating.

‘I just had a black out moment… Yeah I was wrong and I apologize too (sic) the man wherever he’s at,’ he wrote, later deleting his account.

U Street is a popular nightlife district dotted with bars, restaurants and nightclubs but was also the scene of recent shootings.

Police said the man did not file a police report so it had no information about the attack. They appealed for anyone with information to contact them. 

FORT WASHINGTON, MD — The Prince George’s County Police Department has charged Monte Brown Jr., a 45-year-old man from Washington, D.C., in connection with the murder of 19-year-old David Frye, also from Washington, D.C.

The incident occurred on May 15, 2024, at approximately 6:40 am in a park located at the 11900 block of Autumnwood Lane. Maryland-National Capital Park Police and PGPD officers were dispatched to the scene following a report of an unconscious man. Upon arrival, they discovered Frye suffering from a gunshot wound and pronounced him dead at the scene.

Through an extensive investigation, detectives were able to identify Brown as the suspect. The PGPD’s Fugitive Unit successfully apprehended Brown on Thursday. It has been determined that the victim and suspect were acquainted, although the motive behind the shooting is still being investigated.

Brown faces charges of first and second degree murder, among other related charges. He is currently held in the Department of Corrections on a no-bond status. The case continues to develop as investigators work to uncover further details surrounding this tragic event.

It’s been a busy week off the field for the Washington Commanders’ 2024 rookie class.

On Wednesday, the Commanders had a Day of Service, during which they spent time at three different locations in Washington, D.C. Owner Josh Harris’s wife, Marjorie, led a contingent of Commanders along with president Jason Wright, several team legends, and the rookies.

On the final stop of the Day of Service, the rookies spent time at a D.C. elementary school greeting the kids, throwing passes with them, and painting birdhouses. The rookies were appreciative of their day in the community.

Friday brought another busy day for the rookie class. Just like previous Washington rookie classes, the group spent the day visiting some of the nation’s most famous landmarks in the nation’s capital.

Washington, D.C., is the most influential city in the world, so it makes perfect sense for the Commanders to have their rookies understand the importance of community.
