Story by Sarah Rumpf-Whitten • 14h
A crowd of rowdy teenagers swarmed the Navy Yard waterfront in Washington, D.C., over the weekend, the latest in a series of "viral takeovers" challenging city officials.
Video captured by D.C. activist Elissa De Souza posted on X showed a mass of people in a busy intersection in the city's Navy Yard neighborhood Sunday.
"What should’ve been a great night out in Navy Yard turned into something we’re seeing far too often," De Souza wrote. "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."
The gathering came during a weekend when the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) implemented a temporary juvenile curfew zone in Navy Yard.
