POLICE have the name of just one person involved in a dramatic Rose Island incident that left a stabbed man in serious condition at the Princess Margaret Hospital this week.
Police Chief Superintendent Solomon Cash said no one is in custody in connection with the incident.
“We are still trying to determine who all the persons are,” he said. “We have a name of one of the persons suspected of being involved.”
The stabbed man has been interviewed by police. Mr Cash said the man knew the men by face, but was unable to provide their names.
According to police, shortly after 7pm Tuesday the man got into an argument with other men, with his assailants leaving the island on stand-up personal watercraft after stabbing him.
A video of the incident went viral this week and captured the dramatic escalation of the attack.
At one point a man was apparently hit with a beer bottle on the boat.
One person attacked was forced to jump overboard.
“That one overboard, that one dead!” said someone recording the video as foul language filled the air.

But, as chief of police says, crime is down. Tell that to the potential tourists who are considering coming here, or to those who already live here and are decent law abiding citizens. This has to stop.

You may have got out in time but others have to live with this crap and the visitors have the right to know what kind of country they are visiting.

DDK-If they knew what kind of country they were visiting they sure as hell wouldn't come to the Bahamas.

Not necessarily true. People go to South America all the time and there's no place more dangerous than that...well maybe war torn segments of Africa. Of course you never want to win the yes it's dangerous but it doesn't matter argument.

Why is this place that is so near to Nassau and PI allowed to be a Wild Wild West????? ...... Why are the Police & RBDF not conducting regular sea patrols of these areas?????? ......... My God we hear them bragging about the number of craft that they have today .......... This is appalling.

Those sail-a-ways to Rose Island use to be one of Nassau’s best kept secrets. You could only get there if you had a boat or knew someone who had one. Then the liquor companies got involved and hired boats and took anyone who showed up on the dock with $20 to Rose Island. So the sail-a-ways changed from a peaceful, relaxing, tranquil family atmosphere to a drunken, fist it out, bottle throwing, almost strippers joint- like atmosphere. And the hood looms took over. Desecration almost So Most people (with sense) stopped going.

This is the first beach on Rose Island, where all the cheap trash goes with boatloads of drunkards. All the other beaches and areas on Rose Island are private and civilized, but not this beach - a free for all !!!
