Three People Stabbed Near White House on Election Night

-

The Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) has announced that three individuals were stabbed in the vicinity of the White House on Election Night following mainly peaceful protests across the city.

MPD is investigating the stabbing that reportedly occurred in the 1400 block of New York Avenue Northwest, which is two blocks from the White House, at approximately 2:30 am Wednesday.

The victims who reportedly sustained non-life-threatening injuries in the incident were two adult men and a woman, according to police, who are trying to identify the suspects.

NBC Washington had initially reported that the victims identified themselves as members of the Proud Boys.

However, it is not clear at this time whether the suspects or victims involved in the attack have links with street demonstrators, according to DC Police Chief Peter Newsham.

“After more extensive investigation with the victims of the crime, we don’t know who [the suspects] are affiliated with,” Newsham said during Wednesday’s press conference.

The police chief added that all the current information relating to the incident was based on their preliminary investigation and their interviews with the victims at the hospital.

Police arrested three people on Tuesday night during the protests on Black Lives Matter Plaza and near the White House area.
