reggae dances following a weekend stabbing.

More doormen will be on duty and customers will have IDs checked. Searches and metal detectors have been ruled out because they would make entry too slow.

It is understood a 19-year-old will appear in court this morning charged with stabbing a fellow Pembroke man at the club in the early hours of Sunday.

The 21-year-old attack victim was stable on a general hospital ward last night. He has liver wounds.

Mr. Aming said security would be increased on Saturday nights -- the only night for reggae.

"It's the first time we've had something like this,'' he said. "It's an isolated thing but we'll just have to be a little tighter.''
