Two adolescents, aged 9 and 13, were arrested Friday after allegedly attempting to mug an elderly woman in Washington, D.C., the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) reported.
The two youngsters allegedly approached the victim, with one suspect allegedly attacking her to grab the purse while the other suspect allegedly brandished a knife at the woman, according to the MPD.
After pepper-spraying one of the alleged suspects, the alleged victim grabbed her phone to call 911 and two on-duty officers arrested the alleged suspects shortly afterward.
