Two Men Injured In Separate Incidents
In two separate incidents, a 35-year-old man “suffered a suspected stab wound to the upper torso,” and a 52-year-old man was reportedly assaulted with a machete.
A police spokesperson said, “Shortly before 1:00am on Sunday, October 13, 2024, police responded to a reported assault at the Zen Lounge, Somerset Road, Sandys Parish. Upon arrival, officers were informed a 35-year-old male had suffered a suspected stab wound to the upper torso.
“He was reportedly driven from the scene in a private vehicle before being transferred to an ambulance which was already in the area responding to an unrelated medical incident.
“He was subsequently transported to King Edward VII Memorial Hospital, where, at last check, he continued to receive treatment for his injury which is considered life threatening.
“Around 7:45pm on Saturday, October 12, 2024, a 52-year-old male attended Hamilton Police Station to report that he was the victim of a wounding.
“He told officers that he was near the doorway to Spinning Wheel when an unknown male described as tall, slim built, and dark complexioned made a comment to him.
“The suspect then allegedly pushed the 52-year-old male to the ground. Another male then pulled a machete from his waistband and assaulted the 52-year-old male, leaving him with a non-life-threatening injury to his right hand.
“He was transported to King Edward VII Memorial Hospital where he was attended to for his injury and discharged.
“Both matters are now under investigation and anyone with information is asked to call the main police number 295-0011, 211 or the independent and confidential Crime Stoppers number, 800-8477.
“If you’d prefer to, please share the information with a police officer you know or use the community reporting portal.”
