Police in the District are investigating a double stabbing that occurred early Friday morning outside of a nightclub.
It happened before 2 a.m. on the 1300 block of 9th Street NW near the Mood Lounge club.
Police say two men were stabbed and both suffered non-life threatening injuries.
Police still have not released the circumstances of the stabbing or if a suspect has been identified.
Ward 2 Councilmember Jack Evans said he'd like the club closed down permanently because of the history of violent incidents there.
"Enough is enough - our residents shouldn't have to put up with this in their neighborhood any longer," Evans said in a statement. "The strain this establishment places on our citizens, police, and city services can no longer be tolerated."
UPDATE: On Friday night, MPD Chief Cathy Lanier exercised emergency powers to shut the club down for 96 hours, a period that will extend through the weekend.
