Police say its believed two teens were walking southbound on Hunterview Drive and Huntercrest Road N.W. around 3:05 a.m. when a red 2014 Volkswagen Jetta, with three people inside, pulled up next to them.

The suspects got out of the vehicle, flashed what appeared to be a handgun and demanded one of the teens hand over his iPhone, backpack and clothes.

The teen complied but then was struck in the face by one of the suspects, who jumped back in the vehicle as it drove off.

Police were called and spotted the Jetta in the area. When they tried to pull it over, however, the vehicle fled, colliding with a marked police cruiser in the process and causing minor damage.

None of the officers were injured.

Police have issued descriptions of the three suspects:

  • Suspect 1 is described as a 17-year-old male, approximately six-feet tall, with a muscular build and light skin tone, wearing a red hoodie, black gloves and a face mask covering his mouth and nose;
