Assault at Montgomery Mall in Bethesda
Montgomery County police responded to a report of a 2nd-degree assault at Westfield Montgomery Mall in Bethesda late yesterday afternoon, January 10, 2026. The assault was reported at the mall at 5:58 PM Saturday. This is the first assault of 2026 at the mall. Twelve assaults were reported at the property in 2025, and eleven in 2024.

The first of many. The police should just stay there all the time. Oh, wait...
