Iraq War Veteran attacked at DC McDonald's

WASHINGTON - Police are searching for a group of suspects who attacked an Iraq war veteran at a D.C. McDonald's. 

Christopher Marquez, 30, says he was eating in a back corner of the chain's Penn Quarter restaurant on Friday night when a group of teens and young men approached his table and began harassing him. 

The group allegedly asked Marquez, who was awarded a Bronze Star for his service, whether "black lives matter" and then called him a racist. 

After the initial altercation, Marquez says one of the perpetrators hit him in the head with a gun and then stole his wallet. 

Marquez is a student at American University.
