Eighteen people linked to an attack on protesters last month — including bodyguards to Turkey's president — face assault charges in Washington, D.C., city officials said Thursday.

Four have been arrested; the remainder are at large.

The announcement at a news conference by the city's mayor and police chief follows a nearly monthlong investigation in which police scrutinized video of protesters being kicked and hit near the Turkish ambassador's residence in Washington.

Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan was sitting in a car nearby when the incident occurred. However, the city's police chief said investigators had insufficient evidence to charge Erdogan in what he characterized as a "pretty brutal" attack.
