Actor From 'The Wire' Stabbed In Overlea

An actor on the Baltimore-based HBO series "The Wire" was stabbed in the chest and buttocks during a melee early Sunday in Overlea.

About 2 a.m., Baltimore County police arrived at Overlea Caterers Inc., in the 6800-block of Belair Road, and used pepper spray to disperse a crowd of about 30 people, several of whom were fighting, a police spokesman said.

After the fight was over, police officers discovered that Christopher J. Clanton, 22, had been stabbed. Clanton, who played Savino Bratton on "The Wire," was taken to Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center, authorities said.

A spokesperson for Bayview tells Eyewitness News Clanton is in stable condition.
