At a few minutes after 7pm, Police responded to a report of an incident that took place on Church Street in the area of City Hall.

It appears that two males got into an altercation, resulting in one of those males brandishing a bladed article and stabbing a 54-year-old man.

The victim was taken to King Edward VII Memorial Hospital, where he was treated for injuries that are not believed to be life-threatening.

Meanwhile, the suspect, after the stabbing, made good his escape in the area before he was apprehended a few minutes later outside of the National Library on Queen Street. He was subsequently arrested and taken to Hamilton Police Station, where he was detained.

An investigation is under way and anyone with information is asked to contact Bermuda Police Service on 295-0011.
