One of the complainants a 10-year-old girl was allegedly cut on the leg during the incident.

A 41-year-old man whose sister said he was not a violent person was given a suspended sentence for “dropping” a block on her.
The assault occurred during a dispute in which the man Damion Alexander also reportedly threatened to behead his sister.
Alexander was sentenced recently in the Kingston and St Andrew Parish Court to six months’ imprisonment at hard labour but the sentence was suspended for two years.
He was also ordered to compensate his sister to the tune of $40,000.

A fisherman is now facing the possibility of being sent to jail after assaulting the mother of his children who he said always choose smoking and friends over him.
The man, Antonio Murphy, explained his frustration over the situation while pleading guilty to a charge of assault in the Kingston and St Andrew Parish Court yesterday. I m a fisherman and when I can come back from work it’s curfew hours and I ketch her at her friends’ house full of women and men smoking and drinking, Murphy said. Every time I go to sea I leave food and money in the house, I give her $10,000 and I’m frustrated she chooses her friends, drinking and smoking over me. If she s drinking and smoking what would happen to the children? Murphy vented, while explaining that he built a house for the woman and their daughters so they could be comfortable.
