Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. “was able to wrestle a firearm away” from one of the two male assailants attempting to rob him Sunday before the other shot him twice, D.C. police said Monday.
The pair approached Robinson after he left a storefront in the 1000 block of H Street NE shortly before 6 p.m. Robinson was taken to MedStar Washington Hospital Center for treatment of injuries that are not believed to be life-threatening. On Monday, he wrote on Instagram that he had undergone surgery that “went well.”
