A WOMAN in her early 20s from central New Providence is in police custody after she allegedly stabbed a man.

Police said the incident reportedly occurred shortly after 1am yesterday.

“Preliminary reports indicate the victim got into an altercation with a female known to him and was subsequently stabbed to the upper body,” police said.

“He was taken to the hospital, where he is listed in critical condition. The suspect was taken into custody and is assisting police with their investigation.

“Police are investigating and appealing to members of the public, to find alternative ways to resolve their conflicts which are a normal part of relationships. If you’re not equipped with the skills needed to resolve conflicts, you are encouraged to seek assistance from a trained counselor, pastor, teacher, or community leader as conflicts will continue to escalate when ignored.”

Meanwhile, police are investigating two armed robberies.

In the first incident, police are requesting assistance in locating a man who wore a blue hooded jacket, gray pants, slippers and a ski-style mask while robbing a business establishment located at Poinciana Drive.

“Preliminary reports reveal that on Monday, August 15, 2022, sometime around 5.40pm, the suspect entered the establishment while allegedly armed with a handgun and demanded cash. The suspect reportedly robbed the establishment of an undetermined amount of cash and fled the area on foot towards the Black Village area,” police said.

In the second incident, police said they were searching for a man who allegedly robbed another man of a 2008 white Nissan Fuga.

“Preliminary reports revealed that on Monday, August 15, 2022, sometime around 9.40pm, as the victim arrived home, he was approached by a lone male armed with a handgun who robbed him of his 2008 white Nissan Fuga vehicle. The suspect fled the area in an unknown direction.”

The victims were not harmed in these incidents.

On the same day, officers attached to Operation Ceasefire confiscated a quantity of suspected marijuana.

Police said sometime around 4.30pm, officers acting on intelligence went to an abandoned structure in the area of Kelly Lane off Johnson Alley where they discovered the drugs.

“The drugs weighed a half pound and have an estimated street value of $500. No arrests were made in connection with the discovery,” police said.
