“The Metropolitan Police Department is providing an update on the law enforcement response to a large group that engaged in disorderly activity in Navy Yard Friday night.

Beginning around 7:30 p.m. on Friday, October 31, 2025, First District officers observed several groups of juveniles converge on the park area between First Street and New Jersey Avenue, Southeast, adjacent to an entrance to the Navy Yard Metro Station. Shortly after 8:00 p.m., the group increased in size to several hundred juveniles. Initially the group was peaceful and did not disrupt the area. As the evening progressed, many of the juveniles within the group began engaging in fights and disrupting the flow of traffic, repeatedly ignoring instructions to remain on sidewalks.

Additional MPD members, and our partners, including Metro Transit Police, United States Capitol Police, the National Guard, and members of the Federal Task Force, responded to the area, closing streets and engaging the group to restore order. MPD and our partners cleared the park area and directed many of the juveniles to the Navy Yard Metro Station.

The group was finally dispersed by approximately 11:00 p.m. MPD and our partners maintained a large presence through the overnight hours to ensure no further unlawful activity occurred.

First District officers made five arrests related to this activity, including: (more…)
