A "targeted attack" using a toxic substance has forced the cancellation of a performance at an outdoor ice rink in Washington D.C.
Officials at the Trump-Kennedy Center say an unknown person poured the harmful material onto the rink's surface. They described the act as deliberate vandalism.
The contamination made the ice unsafe for skaters. This caused the immediate cancellation of a scheduled show.
Center management stated the incident is under investigation. They did not identify the specific substance used.
The outdoor rink, a seasonal attraction, will remain closed until the ice can be safely replaced.
