Narrative:

I departed from 4n1 airport around XA30 on nov/sat/03 and planned to fly to cho airport. I checked in with new york departure and asked for flight following. I received a squawk and radar service. I was handed over to phl approach. Phl approach responded. When I flew under dc class B airspace, I called the controller from phl approach 2 times, but he never responded. He did not hand me over to potomac approach and did not discontinue radar services. I decided to leave dc area as soon as possible. I was contacted by police helicopter and forced to land.
