Police press liaison officer Superintendent Hulan Hanna reported one-armed robbery, a stabbing and one grievous harm incident over the weekend.
He said that at 2:00 p.m. Saturday afternoon, TK Food store located Minnie Street was robbed by two armed men.
He said one of the men held up a female employee and robbed the store of $200 cash, then escaped on foot.
Grievous harm
At 5:45 p.m. Saturday afternoon police received the report of a grievous harm incident occurring in the food court of the Marathon Mall.
The incident he said occurred as a result of an argument between two young men.
“During a scuffle, one of the young men produced a cutlass and chopped off the right index finger of the other young man,” said Mr Hanna.
He said that the young man who was injured was taken to the Princess Margaret Hospital where he was treated and released.
Stabbing
The third incident said Mr Hanna occurred late Saturday evening on Fifth Street The Grove and Palm Tree Avenue.
He said the stabbing was the result of an altercation between two men.
“Apparently some words were exchanged, resulting in one of the young men being stabbed in the neck.
The alleged assailant was also attacked by a group of men, believed to be the friends of the stabbing victim, and both of the men had to be hospitalised,” he said.
Mr Hanna declined to release the names of the victims and assailants in the matters as investigations are still being conducted.
