Well, file this under “I can’t believe this caused someone to get stabbed” – reports
are saying that Brandon Banks, and his companion, Christopher Lee Nixon, were stabbed as the result of a fight that started with a fashion insult. That’s right, either Banks or a friend made a crack about the suspect, 24-year-old Jason DaCosta Shorter, wearing white pants and a white jacket.

This insult lead to a fight outside of the Park nightclub, where apparently Banks and friends were just walking by, and had not been inside. Jasmine Henderson, who was at the club, spoke to TBD and says that security was involved in the fight initially but couldn’t contain the those involved.

Shorter has been charged with assault with intent to kill. However, the Washington Post reports that the U.S. Attorney’s office will charge him with assault with a dangerous weapon. Both Nixon and Banks are still in the hospital. Banks is expected to be released from Howard University Hospital sometime today, while Nixon is in critical condition at the GW Hospital. Nixon had multiple cuts on face and body, which required surgery. He is in intensive care.
