WASHINGTON (WJLA) – Anwan Glover, the actor who played gang member Slim Charles in the HBO series The Wire, has been treated for a laceration after he reported being stabbed and kicked in a D.C. nightclub early Sunday

The incident was one of three reports of violence in local clubs within about an hour and a half, two at Café Asia and one at the Red Lounge, both in Northwest.

D.C. police say there is no reason at this time to believe the attacks were related.

Glover told investigators he was at Café Asia early Sunday when an unknown person punched him and another person hit him on the head. Glover told police he was then kicked repeatedly and felt sharp pain in his side.

Authorities say Glover was treated for a laceration to the torso at George Washington University Hospital. His condition wasn’t immediately known.

The 41-year-old actor lives in Upper Marlboro, Maryland, and most recently appeared in the Oscar-winning movie “12 Years a Slave.”

Glover also had a role in the first season of the HBO series Treme.

He is also known as Big G, leader of the Backyard Band, a go-go band.

Sunday evening, Glover posted the following message on Instagram:

As many of you are aware, i was involved in an incident last night. While supporting another band, at their show, I was involved in an altercation with some unknown people. While defending myself, I was stabbed. I was hospitalized and have been released. I am not a stranger to adversity and when shown hate, I’m going to spread love. I am recovering and will be back soon. My flesh may be stabbed but my spirit is unbreakable. I want to thank all of my fans, followers and friends for their inquiries, well wishes, prayers and love. I love you all back and I’m always going to love my city. – G #FYI- I lost my phone and will get my new one tomorrow. Much love Anwan Big G Glover
