Prince George's County police are investigating a severe early-morning assault at St. George Boulevard and American Way, just off National Harbor’s busiest visitor corridor. A woman was found badly beaten and was evaluated by Prince George's County Fire & EMS, and investigators have not identified a suspect.

The location puts the attack at a high-profile gateway to one of the county’s most visible destinations, where hotels, restaurants and waterfront foot traffic usually define the area’s public image. It also lands at the same intersection that drew a major police response on April 23, 2025, when a man and a woman were found suffering from critical stab wounds at American Way and Saint George Boulevard.

The broader county record shows National Harbor already figures into public safety planning and budget documents. Prince George's County’s FY 2025 proposed budget materials said police funding included resources for 100 new officer recruits and money for two new crime scene units, while county budget documents specifically reference National Harbor in an impact summary.

That backdrop gives added weight to any violence near St. George Boulevard and American Way, especially at a corner that has now surfaced in more than one serious case. Police have not said what led to the assault, and the woman’s injuries and the lack of an identified suspect leave detectives looking for anyone who saw activity in the area or has relevant information.
