Members of the National Guard helped break up a violent street brawl in Southeast Washington, D.C., Wednesday night after a woman allegedly stabbed a man with a 12-inch kitchen knife.

Tiana Robinson, 31, of Southeast, D.C., was charged with assault with a dangerous weapon, according to the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD). Kenneth Evans, 29, of Southeast, D.C., was charged with simple assault.

Just before 8 p.m. Wednesday, MPD officers and members of the National Guard responded to a brawl after being flagged down by a concerned citizen.

During the fight, a man was stabbed in the hand with what he described as a foot-long kitchen knife, according to a court affidavit obtained by Fox News Digital. He was later taken to Howard University Hospital for treatment.

Investigators said the confrontation started as the victim and his cousin were leaving a restaurant, heading to the Navy Yard Metro Station, and realized a man and woman were following them.
