Photo by james1428Three people were injured—one critically—in two separate fights aboard Metro trains on Friday night.
Metro spokesman Dan Stessel tells DCist that the first fight occurred shortly after 9:30 p.m. on Friday, wherein two men fought on an outbound Green Line train. Police met the train at the Fort Totten stop, where they found one man suffering from life-threatening head injuries. He remains in critical condition.
Police arrested 22-year-old Dionte Daniels of Glenarden, Md. later that night and charged him with second-degree attempted murder, assault, and reckless endangerment.
Later in the evening around 11:20 a.m., Metro Transit Police responded to reports of a large brawl on an inbound Blue Line train.
According to authorities, the fight spilled over onto the platform of the Stadium-Armory station where police arrived to break it up. Two teens were injured—a 19-year-old male with multiple stab wounds on the back and a 17-year-old male with knife-related lacerations on the hand—but neither had life-threatening injuries.
Stessel says that neither victim is cooperating with the investigation, and MTP are asking for help from the public in identifying the suspects involved in the brawl.
