WASHINGTON, D.C. — A 40-year-old man was arrested Tuesday evening after allegedly attempting to carjack a vehicle in Northwest and fleeing the scene when he couldn’t get the car to operate.

The incident occurred around 7:50 p.m. on May 20 in the 600 block of 10th Street NW. A suspect approached a victim sitting inside a vehicle, forcefully removed the individual, and attempted to drive off.
