DC police have also been authorized by the mayor to set up temporary curfew zones in areas where more than eight minors congregate, posing a potentially heightened threat to public safety.

The curfew was announced following a violent clash between teens at the Navy Yard, where one 18-year-old and four minors were booked on charges including public marijuana use, affray and failure to obey.

One police officer was treated for injuries at the scene, according to officials.
