Madness descended on an upscale Washington DC neighborhood again after a large mob of unhinged teens took over. 

On Saturday night, a rowdy group of teenagers spilled into Navy Yard, a ritzy and trendy neighborhood in the US Capital, while people dined out and tried to enjoy their evening. 

A massive crowd was seen running through the middle of a busy intersection, with some on foot and others riding bikes, in a video posted to X by investigator Elissa De Souza. 

Souza was out to dinner at the time, but bright flashing police lights and sirens quickly came into view through the restaurant's windows as the teens quickly ran down the road, dispersing in all directions.

'What should’ve been a great night out in Navy Yard turned into something we’re seeing far too often,' Souza posted. 

'Sitting at dinner at Takumi (one of the newest additions to the neighborhood) this was the view: chaos spilling into the streets, fights breaking out, and large groups of teens running through the area after yet another reckless event at the Bullpen.' 

The latest disturbance comes as the Pan-African Community Action Group, a local activist organization, called on the DC leaders to end the curfew that was put in place to quell the issue, suggesting that it criminalizes and directly targets black youth. 

In November, Washington DC Mayor Muriel Bowser announced that anyone under the age of 18 is not allowed out between 11pm and 6am across the District of Columbia. An 8pm curfew is set to start this weekend in Navy Yard. 

The set curfew for Navy Yard did not sit well with members of the Pan-African Community Action Group, who believe that youth do not need to be controlled by it. 

'We're challenging the idea that our youth need criminalizing and that they need to be contained or told where or where not to be,' Garret Harris, a member of Pan-African Community Action, told NBC 4. 

He then pointed to the beauty of the Navy Yard, which he referred to as a 'human playground'. 

'I mean, if you look behind us, or if you walk around Navy Yard, you see how beautiful it is. You know, I live in Southeast, and there's nothing like this in Southeast,' Harris explained. 

'This is like a human playground. So it's obvious why the youth want to come out here because it's beautiful. You can have a good time, live bands. 

'So telling them they can or cannot come out here to us is just trying to contain them from being able to enjoy the things that are developed because they're not developed for them.'

Harris and other group members came together for a rally on Saturday at Yards Park, according to an Instagram post. 

'Curfews don’t keep us safe—they expand policing and mass incarceration,' the group wrote. 

The emergency legislation that initially started the curfew will expire on Wednesday, and Mayor Bowser has urged the council to extend it. 

The DC Council is set to vote on extending the curfew on April 21 after postponing a previous vote.  

The Metropolitan Police Department told the Daily Mail the agency did not make any arrests in connection to the incident, but the Metro Transit Police Department did arrest four people on Metro platforms that night. 

The minors were arrested at the Navy Yard station, with three of them being cited for disorderly affray, or fighting, and the fourth for disorderly conduct, assaulting a police officer, and unlawful entry, according to the Metro Transit Police Department. 

Mayor Bowser's office told the Daily Mail that she remains onboard with the curfew.   

A similar teen takeover took place just before the new year, resulting in five being arrested after getting into a violent clash with the National Guard in Washington DC. 

An officer was injured during the melee after hundreds of youths descended on the city's famed Navy Yard just after 7.30pm on October 31, police said.

The teens were peaceful at first, but as the night progressed the, 'group began engaging in fights and disrupting the flow of traffic, repeatedly ignoring instructions to remain on the sidewalks.'

Dramatic video shot by a nearby resident showed teenagers pursued by police, including National Guardsmen, running in the park. Screams can be heard in the chaos.

Police - alongside the National Guard, Capitol Police, Metro Transit Police, and a Federal Task Force - closed down the streets in the area and worked to disperse the group.

By 11pm, the group had dispersed, and five were arrested.

Kaeden Brown, 18, was arrested for allegedly being in possession of a knife.

Four minors, between the ages of 14 and 16, were also arrested on various charges, including public consumption of marijuana, affray, and failing to obey.
