Actor Anwan Glover was beaten and stabbed in a Washington, D.C. nightclub.
An actor from the hit HBO drama “The Wire” was stabbed at a nightclub in Washington, D.C. early Sunday morning. Anwan Glover, best known for his role as gang member Slim Charles on “The Wire,” told police he was at Café Asia when someone punched him from behind. Glover says he turned to face his attacker when another person hit him in the back of the head causing him to fall.
Glover says, he was then kicked multiple times while he was on the ground, and then he was stabbed. He was taken to the hospital for treatment and later released. The 41 year old took to Instagram to assure fans that he was OK and said, “My flesh maybe stabbed, but my spirit is unbreakable.”
So far, no arrests have been made. Glover is no stranger to being under attack. He reportedly had been shot 13 times while growing up in Washington, D.C. His son was also shot in 2011 in an incident involving his shoes. Glover has been an advocate for anti-violence and campaigned against gang violence.
Glover has also appeared in 12 Years A Slave, Luv, and the HBO series “Treme.” He is also the lead vocalist for a Go-Go group called Backyard Band.
