D.C. police say they made several arrests in Navy Yard on Friday night after a large group caused a disturbance blocking an area around M and 1st streets.

At one point, a large group was seen sprinting away from law enforcement officials.

Police at the time urged residents to avoid the area for a period of about two hours, with the crowd cleared around 11 p.m.

Additional authorities were called in and road blocks were temporarily put in place.

Police have not yet detailed exactly how many people were arrested, or whether any possible charges were filed over the incident.
