…rough ‘tackle’ sparked fracas

A regular game of football turned violent when two brothers were stabbed after an altercation with another man last Sunday. Quincy and Carlos Adams, of Paradise, East Coast Demerara, were both stabbed multiple times by their attacker whose name was only given as ‘Mickey’.

According to eyewitnesses, the fracas came about over a football game involving the three.

Reports reaching Kaieteur News indicated that it was during the regular Sunday morning football game at the Paradise playfield that one of the brothers and the assailant started a fight over what appeared to be a rough ‘tackle’ on the younger brother, Carlos, by the assailant.

Apparently the challenge did not sit well with the lad, who according to reports waited some time after and delivered a punch to the face of the assailant.

Eyewitnesses recalled that a commotion ensued and the burly built assailant held the younger Adams by his neck prompting the intervention of the other Adams sibling and a number of friends.

Other football players who had congregated at the playfield at the time separated the warring men. According to a source who witnessed the incident, the Adams brothers and their friends retreated from the ground and it was thought that since they left the issue was settled.

To the surprise of those gathered at the playfield the men returned shortly after, all armed with different weapons ranging from cutlasses, to sticks and other heavy implements in search of ‘Mickey’.

The source said that the men circled the assailant and started to beat him, and that it was then that he (Mickey) managed to get hold of a beverage bottle, broke it and started to stab indiscriminately at the angry mob.

“Was plenty a them pun he so he just break the bottle and start firing juk,” the eyewitness said.

From all accounts the brothers bore the brunt of the injuries with the younger brother, Carlos Adams, now a patient at the Georgetown Public Hospital nursing stab wounds to his ribs and hands.

At the hospital the youth was in a stable condition taking intravenous drips. An older brother refused to give any details on the issue to the media, only to say that the matter was brought to the attention of the police.

The older Adams sibling, Quincy, was treated for a wound to the head and was sent home. The assailant has not reported to the police thus far but this newspaper was told that the man is in the process of securing a medical certificate since he was dealt several blows to the head during the incident.

The source said that the assailant will turn himself in to the police when he secures the medical certificate.

An eyewitness opined that the incident should not have reached such violent proportions. The eyewitness added that had the hot tempered men exercise better judgement the matter could have been amicably settled. A source said that the men were all friends that normally play for the Paradise football team.

There has been an increase in violent behaviours at football matches across the country. A football official attributed these recent behaviours to the heavy smoking of marijuana and the consumption of alcohol at these outings.

Just recently a number of teenagers were shot at a football match at the National Gymnasium after a popular city businessman opened fire on a group of men. He was eventually cornered and severely beaten by the same men.

Additionally, there was another stabbing incident recently at a football match at the Tucville ground.
