D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser announced a limited juvenile curfew Saturday in response to a teen melee that took place Friday night in the Navy Yard neighborhood.
“I find it necessary to ensure that the police can disperse large groups of teens,” Bowser told WTOP in an exclusive intervew after her announcement, adding that parents throughout the D.C. region should be aware “that young people need to be with an adult after 6 o’clock.”
The limited youth curfew will begin at 11 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 1 until 6 a.m. Sunday Nov. 2, and every night after, ending on Wednesday, Nov. 5 at 11:59 p.m. The curfew is for youths under 18 years old, Bowser said in a news release.
Police said they made several arrests of the teens as they blocked an area around M and 1st streets.
