ARLINGTON, Va. — Police are investigating after they say a good Samaritan was beaten by a man after trying to stop that same man from allegedly assaulting a woman he had been fighting with moments earlier.
According to the Arlington County Police Department, officers were called to the 2800 block of Wilson Boulevard just before 6:45 p.m. Sunday.
When officers arrived, they spoke with a man who explained he had been walking in the area when he noticed a man and woman arguing. During the argument, the victim said the man tried to assault the woman and when he tried to intervene, the man turned his aggression onto him.
Police say the suspect hit the man multiple times before the victim was able to move away from him. The suspect then reportedly reapproached the man, pushed him to the ground and assaulted him before he was pulled away by the woman and a witness.
The man and the woman left before police arrived and have not been found.
The victim was taken to an area hospital for help and is expected to be okay.
The suspect is described as a man wearing a blue button-up shirt and white pants.
