At least one man was stabbed and another received head injuries during a fight at Ocean View Golf Course in Devonshire on Sunday afternoon.

A police spokesman said officers were called to the scene just before 3pm after being told of a “disturbance” at the club involving several people, two of whom were reportedly armed with knives.

The spokesman said: “Upon police arrival, most of the people had left the scene. However, forensic evidence was found to confirm an incident had occurred.”

The spokesman added that a man suffering head injuries was later seen on North Shore Road, near Loyal Hill, Devonshire.

He was taken by private car for treatment at King Edward VII Memorial Hospital, where he was attended to for his injury, which was not considered life threatening.

The spokesman said that at about 3.35pm on the same day, Emergency Dispatch received a call for assistance for a 42-year-old male with an apparent stabbing injury, at a Cedar Park Road, Devonshire residence.

Officers attended the scene and found the injured male, who was also taken to hospital by private vehicle. His injuries, which included cuts to his shoulder and head, were not considered life threatening.

The spokesman said that the matters were believed to be linked and that an investigation was ongoing.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Detective Constable Patrick Jones on 717-2170 or by e-mail at pjones@bps.bm.

Witnesses can also share information with an officer they know, use the BPS Community Reporting Portal at portal.police.bm or make an anonymous report at the confidential Crime Stoppers website, crimestoppers.bm.
