Two people were stabbed at Dupont Circle Park during Pride festivities on Saturday, a D.C. police spokesperson said. The victims are both males, but police declined to specify their ages or the severity of their injuries. Police do not have a suspect in custody. Police began evacuating the park about 7:30 p.m. Saturday.

The violence followed days of back-and-forth between the Metropolitan Police Department and government officials as to whether to close the historic park.

A day of celebration ended with two teens being stabbed, and one man shot near Dupont Circle Saturday evening amid Pride events.
