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.

You are correct. I'm going to wait for the noon news, when more is known.

news articles suggested he was the same fellow who did the shootings in NYC.
