Stabbing at Malcolm X Park

Prince of Petworth passes on a tip from a correspondent saying that someone was stabbed at Malcolm X/Meridian Hill Park at around 6 p.m. The news is surprising, given the hour. A stabbing sounds perfectly consistent with the range of activities that take place in the park after nightfall, when the park is reserved for crooks and caitiffs. Yet daylight hours typically belong to the picnickers, stroller-ers, capoeirans, and circle drummers who frequent the place. (None of whom really deserves to be stabbed.) That park has its nooks and crannies, but it's difficult to conceive of a stabbing at the park that wasn't brazen.
