WASHINGTON — One person has serious injuries after a struggle on Pennsylvania Avenue in Southeast, D.C. Saturday morning.
According to a police report obtained by WTOP, a man told D.C. police that he saw a woman fall from the Interstate 295 Anacostia Freeway overpass onto Pennsylvania Avenue in an apparent suicide attempt around 6 a.m.
Three men rushed over to help her, when another man started to fight them, telling them to get away from “his girl.”
According to the report, the suspect pulled out a handgun and a struggle ensued. The gun fired but the bullet did not strike anyone.
The suspect got into his vehicle and drove away, later returning and hitting one of the good Samaritans with the car before fleeing the scene.
That victim has serious injuries.
The woman and the other men who tried to help her are expected to be OK.
