The 18-year-old victim said he was threatened with a knife.

A dispute from Sunday led to an accusation of a group attack and robbery in Dale City on Tuesday, police said.

An 18-year-old man told police he was walking on Eames Lane Tuesday when four men he knew came up and attacked him. The victim said the attack was the result of a dispute he had with the other men on Sunday.

The attackers took cash from the victim before one of the attackers pulled out a knife and threatened the victim, police said. The victim got the knife away from the attacker, and the four men ran away.
