Two people were stabbed at Dupont Circle Park during Pride festivities on Saturday, a D.C. police spokesperson said. The victims are both males, but police declined to specify their ages or the severity of their injuries. Police do not have a suspect in custody. Police began evacuating the park about 7:30 p.m. Saturday.

City authorities canceled an initial request to block off the site, an L.G.B.T.Q. gathering spot in Washington, D.C. But the National Park Service opted to close it.
