After midnight on November 4, election night, a woman and at least two men were stabbed a few blocks from the White House, according to DC police.
Police said the victims identified themselves as members of the extreme right-wing group supporting President Donald Trump, The Proud Boys. Later, law enforcement officers said they could not verify the identity of the victims.
The victims claimed the suspects were participants in the Black Lives Matter protests. No arrests were made.
District of Columbia police initially said that one woman and three men were injured, later said there were two men who were injured. What is the reason for the data changes is not reported.
Police said the stab victims fought with three suspects near the intersection of 14th Street and Northwest New York Avenue around 2:30 am.

The victims were taken to a DC hospital. Their injuries are not considered life-threatening, police said. Three suspects in the same “composition” are wanted - a woman and two men.
The crime scene is a few blocks east of the White House and about six blocks from Black Lives Matter Plaza, the center of Washington's largest election night demonstration. It is unclear if the attacks on the suspects have anything to do with the protests.
District of Columbia leaders have stepped up security ahead of election day. All DC police officers took to the streets on Wednesday, November 4, the first day after the election.
