15-year-old arrested in brutal attack outside of a Northwest DC hotel, 4 other suspects sought

WASHINGTON (FOX 5 DC) - A 15-year-old is in custody in connection with a brutal attack on a 60-year-old man outside of a Washington Marriott Wardman Park Hotel in Northwest Washington.

D.C. police are still looking for four other suspects in connection with the incident.

The 15-year-old is charged with aggravated assault.

Police say the group beat the man so badly, he lost two teeth.

On Friday, FOX 5 spoke with the victim and a witness about the attack.

"The first one, he touched my private... I thought it was accident... and then the second one, he did the same thing... and then, he gave me a punch. Another kid behind me, he pushed me to the ground hard," the man told FOX 5.

"I heard screaming. So, when I go outside my taxi cab, there are like five or six of them running," said witness Fitsum Melesse. "This poor guy have very small kids and he try to survive, try to feed his family."
