Victims claimed they were returning home after watching the US election results in a bar when they were attacked by a group of men
At least three people have been injured after a group of men went on a stabbing spree in Washington DC on the night of the US election results.
While the current President Donald Trump was busy filing a lawsuit against states alleging the system and his opponent Joe Biden of being a fraud, the supporters of the two leaders clashed in the streets seeking justice for their leaders.
The Washington DC police department received a call for help around 2:26 am about a stabbing incident in the 1400 block of New York Avenue, Northwest that left two men and one woman injured with non-life threatening injuries.
DC Police Department is now on a lookout for three suspects. "Lookout is for Suspects (1 & 2) B/Ms wearing all black clothing and Suspect (3) B/F wearing black sweatpants w/ white stripe, orange leggings and a dark gray coat armed with a knife," the unit tweeted.
