The incident occurred at approximately 1:20 p.m. on the 5900 block of Georgia Avenue, Northwest. Police say the suspect asked the victim for money inside the establishment. When the victim refused, the suspect assaulted him, stole his property, and fled the scene.

The victim sustained non-life-threatening injuries and was transported to a nearby hospital by D.C. Fire and EMS for treatment.
