Group knife fight in Middle Region

page1xxMIDDLE REGION--Five people were rushed to St. Maarten Medical Center (SMMC) to be treated for wounds they sustained in a group fight that broke out at the junction of Defiance Road and Middle Region Road on Tuesday evening.

The five taken to the Medical Centre included an older man who reportedly had attempted to separate the two warring groups, but had received a cut on his neck in the process, and four younger men.

A first response backup unit, three patrol cars and two ambulances were dispatched to the scene.

Three of those involved were treated at SMMC for wounds sustained to the arms, back and lower abdomen. Two were carried in on stretchers.

At least one person who it is believed had been involved in the fight had been taken into police custody up to press time.

There was no clear indication up to press time as to why the fight had occurred. However, police spokesman Inspector Ricardo Henson said possibly two knives had been used.
