One man is in critical condition and another is stable after an argument turned into a slashing at D.C. club "The Park."

One of the injured is ********' punt returner Brandon Banks, who is in stable condition with superficial knife wounds, according to a source close to the team.

Police said an argument occurred at about 3 a.m. Saturday at the club, located at 920 14th Street in the Northwest.  After the fight escalated, a suspect, who is now in custody, attacked both Banks and his companion with a knife, police said.  On Saturday afternoon that man remained in critical condition.

Wow, and I thought NW was the safe area. Hmm. Well that's why I stick with Clarendon Ballroom. But then again anything can happen anywhere.

Washington ******** punt-kick returner Brandon Banks suffered a stab wound to his upper left abdomen while trying to break up a fight outside The Park at Fourteenth, a District nightclub, at 3 a.m. Saturday, according to his agent and police.

The agent, James Gould, said Saturday evening that Banks remains hospitalized but is expected to make a full recovery.

Banks was standing outside the Northwest Washington club when his friend, Christopher Nixon, 24, and Jason David Shorter of Lanham got into an argument that escalated to a physical fight. Gould said Banks and the club's bouncer tried to break up the fight, an account verified by security camera footage obtained during the police investigation.

The bouncer managed to get between Nixon and Shorter, but Shorter opened a folding knife and began swinging wildly, according to Gould. Nixon sustained multiple cuts to the face and body, required surgery and is in intensive care at a different D.C. area hospital than Banks.

The 5-foot-7, 151-pound Banks, who just completed his first NFL season out of Kansas State, sustained a slash to his side, which Gould described as "more of a superficial wound." He was taken to the hospital and received stitches. Gould contradicted earlier reports that Banks had been released from the hospital, but said he expected Banks to be released within the next 24 hours.

"He is with his parents right now, and is expected to make a full recovery," Gould said in a phone interview. "He was trying to save his boyhood friend, and is very concerned about him right now. Brandon is very upset."

The ******** released a statement in which Gould said: "Brandon was not involved in any wrongdoing and was not implicated in any way. Brandon's immediate concern is for his lifelong friend who is like a brother to him. He would like to thank everyone for their prayers and well wishes for him and his lifelong friend."

Shorter is in custody and was initially charged by D.C. police with assault with the intent to kill. But the U.S. Attorney's office will charge him with a lesser charge of assault with a dangerous weapon.
