WASHINGTON - Metro Transit Police are searching for two suspects who reportedly assaulted a blind man with a service dog on a Red Line train.
Police say the blind man accidentally bumped into one of the suspects as he boarded the train. The suspect allegedly responding by pushing and threatening the victim.
A witness reported to police that she intervened and attempted to defuse the situation, but the suspects cursed at her. When she tried to call police, she said the suspects tried to grab her phone. However, the woman held on to her device and called police. She was also able to record video of the altercation between the two suspects and the blind man as the train continued on to the next two stops, the police report states.
Police say things escalated when the train arrived at the NoMa-Gallaudet U station. According to witnesses, it became an all-out brawl when people tried to protect the blind man from the pushing and shoving by the suspects
The second suspect is described as a black male between 18 and 20 years old. He was wearing a black knit cap with blue stonewashed jeans.
If you have any information about the suspects, you are asked to call Metro Transit Police at 301-955-5000 or send a text to MyMTPD (696875).

WASHINGTON (ABC7) — It happened fast on Thanksgiving night — a shout, then a flurry of fists.
"He yelled, 'White man!' and I looked and he wound up and clocked me. I fell down and he clocked me again," the 61-year-old victim told ABC7 News.
The victim was left deaf in one ear, a badly bruised jaw swollen face, and doctors initially suspected bleeding on the brain.
The victim in this assault is also gay, but he believes the suspect targeted him for his race. He says the man made it clear he attacked out of hate.
"He immediately said, 'White boy' and 'White M-F' and stuff like that... 'White... white... white."

Jenkins, a cofounder of the social-justice advocacy group the Players Coalition, was at the Kensington nonprofit Impact Services to call for reforms to the city's money-bail system, which he called unjust and racist. Ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday, Jenkins and other Eagles players posted $25,000 — matched by $25,000 from the Eagles Social Justice Fund — to bail out nine Philadelphians so they could be home with their families.
