Missing man arrested for attempted murder

(CNS): A 39-year-old man has been arrested in connection with a stabbing which occurred in West Bay last month. Officers from the Uniform Support Group arrested the man just after midnight on Wednesday (22 June) at a George Town address for attempted murder.  The man was wanted by West Bay detectives as a result of a fight that occurred at Batabano Plaza on the evening of  24 May, in which two men were left injured. Police said the arrested man currently remains in custody pending further investigations. On the night of the fight police had received a report that one of the men was brandishing a firearm.

Police had gone to the scene and found one man had been stabbed in the shoulder during the fight and another, who received a bloody nose, was arrested on the night. Police also found ammunition in a car at the scene, which was believed to have been used by the suspects. Police said that a third man had fled from the scene and the police stated they had received very little co-operation from the men reportedly involved in the fight.
