American actor Anwan Glover was brought to GW Hospital after he was stabbed in a D.C. nightclub early Sunday morning.
Glover, who appeared on HBO’s “The Wire,” was stabbed in the torso inside Cafe Asia near 17th and I streets at about 2 a.m. on Sunday. A man had approached Glover and repeatedly hit then stabbed him, the Baltimore Sun reported.
The D.C. native, also a musician, was released from GW Hospital after he was treated for non-life-threatening injuries, the Sun reported.
Glover, who played a gang leader on “The Wire” and also appeared in the movie “12 Years a Slave,” reportedly was shot 13 times when he was younger in Columbia Heights, the Washington Post reported. His brother died in a D.C. shooting seven years ago, and his son was wounded in a shooting four years later.
Glover appeared with then-Mayor Adrian Fenty in 2007 after his brother died to advocate against gun violence in the city.

The Hatchet incorrectly spelled the name of former mayor Adrian Fenty. It is Adrian, not Adrien. We regret this error.
