A woman in Northwest D.C. is recovering after a violent robbery right in front of her home, and it happened just days after her neighbor's car was stolen. FOX 5's Derick Waller reports from the Manor Park neighborhood with a new video of that incident.
WASHINGTON - Police are investigating after a woman was reportedly found unconscious in the middle of a Northwest D.C. street following a robbery.
According to police, the woman had to be taken to the hospital after she was found lying in the 5900 block of 4th St, NW, around 6:20 p.m. Monday.
The victim told police she had been approached by three suspects as she was walking down the street. She said one of the suspects pulled her arm and she began fighting back before another suspect said to her, "you stupid b***h, don't you see I have a gun?"
The victim told police this was the last thing she could remember about the incident.
When police arrived to investigate, a witness told them that he had seen the woman lying unconscious in the road and a silver car speeding off.
