NASSAU, BAHAMAS – Two men are recovering in hospital after a shooting incident on Saturday.
Inspector Leonardo Burrows said police responded to reports of a shooting in the area of Nassau Street and Cambridge Lane shortly before 3am.
Both men were transported to hospital, where one is listed in serious condition and the other in stable condition, he said.
Police are also probing a stabbing incident that injured two men on Friday.
Burrows said two men got into an argument near a bar at Lightbourne Avenue off Farrington Road, shortly before 9pm.
“The altercation turned physical with both males fighting and stabbing each other about the body,” he said.
“Both males were transported to hospital in private vehicles where one of them is listed in critical condition and the other in stable condition.”
Meanwhile, police are investigating a spate of weekend armed robberies that saw victims robbed of cars, jewelry and cash in four separate incidents.
The first reported incident is a home invasion that took place in Nassau Village early Friday morning.
