Police told us that three persons ended up getting stabbed:...

ASP Alejandro Cowo, O.C., C.I.B., Belize City
"Police visited the Karl Heusner Memorial Hospital where they observed a group of persons. Several of them had apparent injuries to the body. Some of them refused to seek medical attention, however the doctor attended to three persons who were admitted. This was as a result of a fight that broke out at Pier One where several persons were injured. Apparently the object that was used was a borer and other injuries were caused by the tables, chairs and stools from the bar. I understand that much furniture from the establishment was damaged due to the fight."

"The 3 persons that were admitted were Keyon Faber, a 21 years old Belizean stevedore from 29 Faber's Road. He had a punctured to the left side of his lung. He is still admitted and there had a minor that was treated and he was discharged another male person by the name of Keran Miguel. He had a cut wound to the back of his head. Likewise he was treated and discharged the same morning."

Reporter
"Can you speak to what actually started this brawl at Pier One?"

ASP Alejandro Cowo
"What we understand that is initiated between two females. The females were in the company of different males persons and from there the fight just got bigger and bigger, involving almost everyone who was inside the establishment."

Reporter
"Are they required by law to have ample security in place in such eventualities?"

ASP Alejandro Cowo
"Yes they are required. There were security, but I cannot tell if the crowd that was there was overwhelming. We know that normally when these types of incidents do happen, the securities really move away because they might be targets or victims of the same fight. That is the reality there."

Police only have one complaint and no suspects at this time.
