Four teenagers were charged with disorderly conduct over the weekend after a rowdy mob swarmed Washington, DC’s Navy Yard — the latest teen takeover at the popular waterfront night spot.
Shocking videos posted online show hundreds of people storming across an intersection as police sirens wail in the background in the nation’s capital, which created a Juvenile Curfew Zone in the neighborhood earlier this month in response to previous wilding incidents.
“What should’ve been a great night out in Navy Yard turned into something we’re seeing far too often,” DC activist Elissa De Souza posted on X. “This isn’t a one-off — it’s a repeat pattern, and it’s happening later and later into the night.
“Residents and visitors should be able to enjoy a beautiful day, support new businesses, and have a peaceful meal without worrying about safety or disruption,” De Souza wrote.
The incident comes just over a week after another teen takeover in the neighborhood sent cops scrambling to bring the mob under control, with the melee leading to four arrests, Fox News reported at the time.
On Thursday, Metropolitan Police announced the creation of the Navy Yard Juvenile Curfew Zone, which prohibited anyone under 18 from gathering in a group of nine or more between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday following the earlier unrest.
On Sunday, a spokesperson for the department told The Post that police “responded to incidents involving large crowds at the Navy Yard, which were dispersed,” but said no arrests were reported.
However, Metro Transit police said four teens were arrested on their turf, three of them for disorderly conduct and the fourth for disorderly conduct, assaulting a police officer and unlawful entry.
They were not identified because of their ages.
