Typical of a Saturday Night.
A man turned on ambulance staff trying to help him after he was stabbed in another week-end of alcohol and violence in our fair city. The police and an ambulance had been called at about 12.30am.
There were bottles and "other weapons" everywhere and the man who had been stabbed was abusive and violent. When the first ambulance arrived he turned his anger on them and discharged himself from their care. His condition worsened and a second ambulance was called but he remained un-cooperative and was eventually arrested.
The man was taken to hospital where he was very un-cooperative with the staff. Eventually however, they were able to treat him and it was revealed following scans that he was very seriously injured, with a split liver from the stabbing. A man arrested over the stabbing is to appear in the District Court.
At about the same time police attended another out of control party where more than 100 people were reported to be fighting. To add to the problems a video store was robbed and several more fights broke out in the city streets.
The police resources were more than stretched over the week-end, responding to various out of control parties with a common theme of excess alcohol and gang fighting.
Peace be with you all.
