And in court, two men were arraigned for an assault in Burrell Boom that occurred over the weekend. We told you on Monday that a Coast Guard Officer, 34-year-old Daniel Sabido, was left partially paralyzed after he was attacked while attending a basketball game.
Reports surrounding this incident are conflicting - some claiming Sabido as the attacker, while others as the victim. But according to an eyewitness, 30-year-old Robert Tillett told police that a man known to him as "Bol" pulled out a machete and started to attack Sabido. After that, a group of men began attacking both Sabido and Tillett.
After recording the statement, police then arrested "Bol" who was identified as 52-year-old Garryson Nicholson. They later also arrested 38-year-old Adrian Myvett.
Nicholson was the first to go to court today. He was read a single charge of aggravated assault with a machete upon another man 30-year-old Robert Tillett. Tillett was reportedly injured while intervening in the fight on behalf of Sabido.
