Two held over Harbour Island assault on US man

TWO men are expected to be arraigned before the Magistrate’s Court in Nassau today in connection with an alleged assault against an American on Harbour Island.

Officer-in-charge of Eleuthera Chief Superintendent Shanta Knowles told The Tribune yesterday the victim had been transported to Nassau for medical attention and was in a stable condition.

“Shortly after 1:30am on Monday past we received information that a man had been taken to the local clinic in Harbour Island and he was suffering from some injuries,” she said.

“Officers were dispatched to that location and they were able to speak to a witness or someone who had accompanied the man to the hospital who said that they were at a local nightclub at Harbour Island when they got into an altercation with some native men. Two of the men assaulted his friend before getting into a golf cart and driving away.

“The victim has been transported to Nassau for further medical attention. Up to my last checking in on Friday, he was in stable condition. We were able to take two men into custody in connection with this incident and they will be arraigned before Magistrate’s Court in Nassau on Monday.”
