Two men [aged 27 and 29] have have been arrested following an assault on Saturday night which left a 15 year old injured. The police said the assault involved a “bladed article” and unofficial reports indicate it may have been a machete.

A police spokesperson said, “Around 10pm on Saturday, March 8th police responded to a reported serious assault in the Hermitage Road, Devonshire area.

“It appears that a 15 year old Warwick male was assaulted by two men, one brandishing a bladed article. At last check the teenager was being treated at King Edward VII Memorial Hospital for a serious hand injury as well as a laceration to the neck; however his injuries are not believed to be life threatening at this time.

“Two Devonshire men, a 29 year old and a 27 year old, have been arrested in connection with this incident and remain in police custody pending further inquiries.

    ….. people dont beat youts for nuffin…

    • inna says:

      Exactly!

    • tricks are for kids says:

      That may be so …BUT two GROWN men WITH a weapon against a teen….hmmmmmmmmm…….sounds fair to me…NOT!!!!!!!!!

      • Chocolate Syrup says:

        How do you know the teen didn’t have a weapon?

        These 15 year olds think they are men and have no problem sticking out there chest to anybody. I’m not condoning this behaviour, but I am on the same page as Vybx Kartel.

        But let’s not draw conclusions here. The culture of Bermuda has changed drastically. Machetes? Guns? Once upon a time, these words were not common amongst conversations. Shame.

    • truth says:

      But you dont know the whole story so maybe you should find it out before making a stupid statement like that.

      • tricks are for kids says:

        Doesn’t matter whether I know the whole story or not.. MY comment is based on what has been reported in the story above. …and I take issue with two against one matter the circumstance. .

        Guess it must be deep if you’re going to risk getting a criminal record….thats what’s STUPID…

        • Gaza says:

          Let a teen do something to you. Let’s see if any of ya morals will be displayed. Doubt it. Exactly what “truth” said. You don’t know what happened. Neither do I. So stop it!

          • Tricks Are For Kids says:

            I am free to voice my opinion just as you or anyone else….sorry if you don’t agree….

            YOUR morals might not be displayed but because of the type of work that I do (working with troubled teens) I would know how to conduct myself accordingly…. I can tell you however that I wouldnt try and solve the problem with a machete,…..

            For the record……I know what the stuation was about……

      • Mile High Club says:

        I does not matter what the story was, why TWO men, why a machete? 27 and 29 vs 15 year old?

    • .... says:

      Ummm get ya life… not everbody is guilty of doing things! But come on like are you serious? A lil boy and two grown men?! The boy doesn’t deserve that type of assult no matter what the situation is and by this article you can’t come upwith a stupid comment like what you just came up with from that

    • smh says:

      WITH A MACHETE THOO????

    • Next says:

      You are the worst type of Bermudian, “youts” and “vybx kartel”? Really? Ugh!

    • BDA says:

      Theres a difference between beating and chopping.

    • Daneko says:

      you don’t know what happened so please don’t talk bout it in a bad way.

  3. consuella says:

    You’re all saying ‘poor kid’ how do you know if the kid bought the machete to the scene.how do you know the ‘cowardly grown man’ werent defending another kid. So quick to jump to conclusions..I bet you’re some of those ‘not my child’ type of people…

    • truth says:

      Well all I have to say is you obviously dont know the story either & from what ive heard from the neighborhood is that it was all caught on camera so forget what you have to say. Youre clearly as irrelevant as your dopey comment.

    • .... says:

      But what 15year-old deserves to get chopped?? I’m not understanding… I don’t know if it’s me or if it’s you but if it was your child this is how you would react? Ok

    • smh says:

      He didn’t. I know.

    • cuzzie says:

      You are an idiot. Defending them selves enough to chop the laddy. Tf yo.

  4. hmm says:

    smh..

  5. enough says:

    those two should know better at their age, about twice the age, cowards exactly.

    • booze Cruise says:

      And the kids running these gangs and shooting and killing people are half my age. Should I give them a good telling off?

  6. Nique of The Hill Country says:

    poor kid

  7. bda says:

    Stay strong —-! Much love

  8. Stay up kid!!! those 2 men should end up behind bars for the rest of their lives. smfh despicable what Bermuda is becoming.

  9. revenge says:

    smh the two men should have never reacted like that over something slight.. the victim is my close friend and when I heard the news I was mad…the reason was slight. he is in critical condition ..im going to visit him tomorrow.. :)

  10. Malachi says:

    Except in self defense, I can’t think of ANY circumstance where one can rationalize an assault like this. What makes this case particularly sinister is that it was two adults against a teen.

    Even worse is the fact that some of us condone this behavior! How did we as a people sink to such a low?

  11. eview says:

    Keep your comments to yourself they are cowards they didn’t ask questions n the young teen didn’t do what they though he did in short they were IDIOTS

  12. deez nutz says:

    Punks!!! If u need a weapon that means you cannot fight, though I’m not condoning fighting. Obviously the 20+ guys should know better . Guess not. Really though a fifteen year old an two of u please!!!! Bermy truly another world.

  13. nuff said says:

    I think you guys saying we don’t know what the teen did sounds very silly whether or not if he did do something wrong nobody deserves to get stab of any kind an assault like that is ridiculous! At their age being close to 30 should know how to approach a lil boy with out weapons point blank!!!!

  14. Next says:

    Two grown a** losers attacking a young teen. Pathetic. Two of them and they still needed a weapon? Definition of a punk coward.

  15. realist says:

    eview…
    do u know this personally. Are u the all knowing magic man… if so why havent u helped the popo.. hmmm the 2 guys r pansies gor 2 on 1 wit a chete.. but honestly. th1 15yr olds prob into some slipperly stuff to deserve an attack like dis..

    • no he isn’t reed the comment he is a good kid..im with him every second of everyday.. u saying thing u don’t even know about I HATE that..i visited him today and he said he has never seen these men ever.. he doesn’t even go Devonshire a lot.. so how he be doing “slipperly stuff”?.. second of all.. does your device have spell check cause…

  16. chocalate droppa says:

    that is crazy! I know the 15 year old he’s a good kid! I go school with him …. he doesn’t deserve to be chopped by two grown men 27 and 29 . come on!! that is crazy and I hope my boy recovers fast. and let them to men be locked up in a cell and burn in hell

  17. cuzzie says:

    He got his fingers chopped, but he didn’t do it. >_<

  18. Smh says:

    You people are talking like you know the story, the “15 year old” did nothing to deserve being chopped by 2 grown men..

    • bozey says:

      @smh….and anyone else defending these two cowards…Whether the victim is 15 or 50…NO ONE deserves to be chopped!! Who died and made them God??

  19. kaykay says:

    J i hope ur ok boy imm prayin for u

  20. IfYouSaySo says:

    they didnt have to react like that. they are all in the wrong.

  21. godson says:

    IMHO, it doesn’t matter if it was a teen or another adult they (allegedly) chopped, they level of violence is a worrying issue. We (all of us) need to reach out and help our young people!!!!! I pray for the teen and his family/friends and hopes he has a speedy recovery. I also pray for the young men involved and hope they learn a hard lesson. I also pray for all of us, so that WE can help to eradicate this angry behavior…We are one Bermuda…ur child is my child- peace

  22. nok says:

    Thou shall not $!

  23. Disgusted says:

    Some of these comments are as rediculous as the incident. The boy done nothing wrong and was doing nothing wrong when attacked. Not everyone is a troubled child and maybe his finger got chopped because he defending himself. It says his neck was injured as well. Wow I got that from reading the story.

    I know the family personally and they are the most loving kind hearted people I know. The boy is not even from Hermitage Road and regardless even if he done something wrong it didn’t need two grown men and a machete to fix it.

    For the whole neighborhood to have cameras doesn’t say that it’s a cool safe place in the first place.

    We have about 2 handfuls of really bad people on the island and the whole place gets brought down. Reading these comments is so vexing because you people are so negative. I bet you couldn’t say any of this if you even met the little boy let alone any of his family members.

    Yes you are entitled to your opinion and your freedom of speech but you alls characters come through and we have an island sinking because of negative pieces of crap such as yourselves.

    How many of you volunteer to work with youth or troubled young adults. Take your stupid fingers from typing such BS and go volunteer to make these stories positive.
