On Halloween night, D.C. police and the National Guard dispersed a disorderly teen crowd, leading to five arrests and a temporary youth curfew.

On Halloween night, October 31, 2025, a large gathering of teenagers in Washington, D.C.’s Navy Yard neighborhood turned chaotic, prompting a coordinated response from police, the National Guard, and federal agencies. Initial peaceful assembly of several hundred youths escalated into fights, traffic disruptions, and defiance of officer orders, leading to street closures, roadblocks, and the arrest of five minors—ages 14 to 18—on charges including weapon possession, marijuana use, affray, and resisting arrest. No serious injuries were reported. In response, Mayor Muriel Bowser imposed a temporary youth curfew effective November 1, running through November 5, aimed at curbing future disturbances.
