East End man charged but no gun recovered

(CNS): One of two men involved in an altercation at the weekend has been charged with a number of offences. However, Aaron Solomon, has not been charged with any gun related crimes despite reports that shots were fired at a house during the incident and police have not recovered a firearm in relation to the fight. Twenty-nine year old Solomon appeared in court Wednesday charged with possession of two offensive weapons —  a golf club and a machete, wounding, intentional harassment, alarm and distress. The incident which took place in the early hours of Saturday morning saw Solomon and his cousin engaged in a violent confrontation in which both men sustained injuries.

Police said Solomon's cousin had retreated to a house after the brawl and shots were fired at the property.

Solomon was bailed by the magistrate on an electronic tag to return to court later this month.
