Last week, a 15-year-old from Hyattsville, Maryland, pleaded guilty in juvenile court to felony assault, simple assault, robbery and attempted robbery in connection with the incident.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to Fox News Channel host Jesse Watters, Coristine said that he was hanging out with his friend group shortly before the attack.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I was walking one of my friends back to her car, and as we&#8217;re walking to the car, there&#8217;s a group of 10 guys right across the street,&#8221; Coristine recalled. &#8220;They start shouting at us. And really quickly, I knew something was really off about the situation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/washington-post-source-says-dc-safe-stays-anonymous-over-personal-safety-concerns\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>WASHINGTON POST SOURCE SAYS DC IS SAFE BUT STAYS ANONYMOUS OVER &#8216;PERSONAL SAFETY&#8217; CONCERNS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The 19-year-old said that he rushed his female friend into the driver&#8217;s seat, and she locked herself in the car before the attack began.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They&#8217;re just a few feet away and they slammed me against the car,&#8221; Coristine said. &#8220;They started throwing a bunch of punches. I keep my hands up\u2026luckily, the whole thing didn&#8217;t last too long.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The police showed up pretty quickly, so I was very fortunate I only came out with a broken nose and a concussion,&#8221; he added. &#8220;It could have been a lot worse.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When asked what inspired him to move to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/us\/washington-dc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Washington, D.C.<\/a> and work for DOGE, Coristine said that he felt a &#8220;great responsibility to serve my country.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/us\/2-juveniles-arrested-bloody-dc-attack-ex-doge-worker-known-big-balls\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>2 JUVENILES ARRESTED IN BLOODY DC ATTACK ON EX-DOGE WORKER KNOWN AS &#8216;BIG BALLS&#8217;<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My grandfather was this KGB double agent for the Americans, and he died so that I could come here and live in this free country that I love so much,&#8221; the teenager said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And so when I started seeing these problems\u2026.like this $37 trillion national debt and counting\u2026I was like, wow, this is insane.
