WASHINGTON, DC — A man was arrested over the weekend in connection with a violent assault that left another man seriously injured in Southeast, authorities said.

The incident unfolded around 4:00 p.m. Saturday in the 1100 block of 2nd Place, Southeast, where officers responded to reports of an assault. When they arrived, they found an adult male victim suffering from significant injuries.

The victim was taken to a nearby hospital by DC Fire and EMS crews. Officials said the injuries were serious but not life-threatening.

Investigators quickly determined the suspect and victim knew each other and that the incident stemmed from a personal dispute. The altercation reportedly escalated before turning physical.

The suspect was arrested on the scene without further incident.
