Version 0 of 1. A 17-year-old charged in connection with two robberies and an attempted robbery, all in Northeast Washington, has been arrested, according to D.C. police. The youth was charged as a juvenile with robbery while armed, assault with intent to rob and robbery by force and violence. His name was not released because of his age. Police said the first attack occurred at about 2:25 p.m. on Feb. 25 in the 800 block of 21st Street NE, in the Carver-Langston neighborhood. Police said the assailant took money from a man and then stabbed him with a knife. Three days later, on Feb. 28, police said a young man approached a man at about 6:15 a.m. in the 1500 block of New York Avenue NE, near Ivy City, and asked for money. Police said the suspect assaulted the victim but did not get away with any money. Later that same afternoon, about 2:50 p.m., police said the suspect stole a cellphone and threatened to beat a man in the 1100 block of 21st Street NE, also in Carver-Langston.
