CHEVY CHASE, Md. — A boy was beaten up by a group of other boys while on the Capital Crescent Trail and police are searching for those responsible.

It happened around 4:30 p.m. near Little Falls Parkway and Dorset Avenue in Chevy Chase, Maryland, according to Maryland National Capitol Park Police, Montgomery County Division (MNCPP).
