domestic dispute on Saturday evening.

Police were called to a home in Sandys Parish at about 8 p.m. and arrived just in time to see a terrified woman fleeing from the house. She was being chased by a man wielding a knife in each hand who, on seeing the Police, retreated back into the house and barricaded himself in.

Officers were able to persuade the man to give himself up without further incident. He was immediately arrested and detained at Somerset Police station.

The 36-year-old woman involved in the dispute was treated at King Edward VII Memorial Hospital for a cut to her arm and bruising to her neck and chest.
