One wounded in brawl at a city hotel
On Thursday evening a couple employed at a city hotel was involved in a fight during which Rawle Nichols broke a bottle and stabbed his female companion, Malika Benjamin, in full view of guests at the hotel.
The guests were gathered at the pool side of the Guest House where karaoke was in session. This publication was informed that the incident may have stemmed from a BlackBerry Message (BBM) the woman had sent to someone.
The proprietor of the hotel contended that the matter was a personal one and did not warrant the public’s attention.
At least one guest from the United States staying at the hotel who spoke with this publication expressed surprise and fear for his safety. The guest told this publication that he was in his hotel room when he heard loud screams coming from the poolside of the hotel. He said that as he ran down to see what was happening he noticed blood all over the place.
The guest who asked that his name not be mentioned stated that he saw a woman running all over the place holding her stomach while several persons attempted to wrestle a man to the ground.
He said that the man had a broken bottle in his hands. The guest stated that as guests began enquiring from the employees what really went wrong and caused the fiasco none of them was willing to speak. The guest is of the view that the hotel owes them an apology.
Meanwhile this publication was told that the injured woman was rushed to a city hospital for treatment. Efforts to confirm the severity of her wounds proved futile.
