WASHINGTON, D.C. — Police have asked for help identifying two women accused of sexually abusing a man in a D.C. convenience store.
The incident occurred around 4 p.m. on Oct. 7, in the 1700 block of New York Avenue, NE, according to police.
The video posted by police captures an interaction on surveillance camera that shows the two women invading the space of a man. It appears the man didn’t know the women.
