A suspect has been arrested in D.C. in connection with attacks on homeless men.

The arrest comes a day after D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser and New York City Mayor Eric Adams released new photos of a man suspected in attacks in both cities.

The suspect “is currently being interviewed at our Homicide Branch,” a tweet from the D.C. police department said.

Do they somehow believe the same suspect was involved? it was very confusing and I haven't had time to look further.
