A modified five-night curfew has been imposed for all people below 18 in booker t. Washington, DC, followers a big fight between groups of teenagers on Halloween.
All minors must remain indoors from 11 p.m. To 6 a.m., from Saturday through Wednesday.
Mayor Muriel Bowser said the restrictions were introduced “in response to several weeks of disorderly juvenile behavior which endangered both themselves and others.”
Metropolitan Police Department Chief Pamela Smith established “special juvenile curfew zones” around Navy Yard, the U Street Corridor, Banneker Recreation Center, and Union Station.
The measure comes after a video showing National Guard troops breaking up a brawl in the Navy Yard neighborhood went viral.

According to police, several hundred young people gathered on Halloween in a park near the Navy Yard Metro Station, and at some point “many of the juveniles within the group began engaging in fights and disrupting the flow of traffic.” Five males aged between 14 and 18 were arrested, one of whom was carrying a knife.
“The behavior displayed last night in Navy Yard is unacceptable, and MPD and our law enforcement partners will have an increased presence tonight to ensure this does not happen again,” Smith said.
