Two Washington, D.C., women were arrested early March 6 following an assault in the 1100 block of Army Navy Drive that left a victim hospitalized.

The victim sustained serious but non-life-threatening injuries and was taken to a local hospital.
Officers made contact with both suspects at the scene and took them into custody.
Eryn Hughes, 24, of Washington, D.C., was arrested and charged with Malicious Wounding by Mob.
