Anwan Glover Stabbed

Glover was stabbed while reveling at D.C.’s Café Asia club, reported The Washington Post. The actor claimed that he was punched by a stranger while standing on the second floor of the venue. He was then struck by another stranger before falling to the ground. Once on the ground, Glover was kicked numerous times before he was stabbed in his side.

"Anwan is no stranger to challenges and struggle, he has overcome many," Glover’s manager Tiffany Turner told MyFoxDC.com. "It is unfortunate that a 'man of the people' or anyone for that matter, cannot attend events without the possibility of injury just by being a bystander."

Following the altercation Sunday morning, Glover was taken to George Washington University Hospital for a laceration on the right side of his torso, according to The Post. His condition has yet to be released.

Glover, who was shot 13 times growing up in D.C., last appeared in Steve McQueen’s Oscar-winning 12 Years a Slave.
