Authorities announced the arrest of two teens in connection with the brutal beating of a former Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) employee that allegedly took place during an attempted carjacking in the nation’s capital over the weekend.

A 15-year-old boy and a 15-year-old girl, both of Hyattsville, Md., now face charges of unarmed carjacking, Washington D.C.’s Metropolitan Police Department said Tuesday. Police did not provide their identities as both suspects are juveniles.

Police said the investigation remains ongoing, with multiple suspects still outstanding.

The victim, Edward Coristine, nicknamed “Big Balls,” was assaulted around 3:00 a.m. Sunday by a group of teenagers in the city’s Logan Circle neighborhood. The teens attempted to carjack him and a woman, whom police identified as his significant other, according to authorities.

Former DOGE head Elon Musk weighed in on X, sharing more of the story.

“A few days ago, a gang of about a dozen young men tried to assault a woman in her car at night in DC,” Musk wrote. “A @Doge team member saw what was happening, ran to defend her and was severely beaten to the point of concussion, but he saved her. It is time to federalize DC.”

The president said it appears criminals are “not afraid” of the police, because “nothing ever happens to them.”

“Washington, D.C. must be safe, clean, and beautiful for all Americans and, importantly, for the World to see,” he wrote in the post. “If D.C. doesn’t get its act together, and quickly, we will have no choice but to take Federal control of the City, and run this City how it should be run, and put criminals on notice that they’re not going to get away with it anymore.”

Fox News Digital’s Alexandra Koch and Brooke Singman, along with the Assoicated Press contributed to this report.
