W Washington introduced a five-day curfew for all under 18 after a fight between teenage groups on Halloween.
All minors must stay home from 11:00 to 6:00 a.m. from Saturday to Wednesday.
Mayor Muriel Bowser said the restrictions were introduced "in consequence to a fewer weeks of indecent behaviour by young people who have threatened both themselves and others".
Metropolitan Police Chief Pamela Smith has established "Special areas of curfew for minors" around the Navy Yard, U Street Corridor, Banneker Recreation Centre and Union Station.
This decision was made after the video recording of National defender soldiers separating the fight in the Navy Yard territory became a virale.
