was involved in a fight with another man on North Street yesterday afternoon.

Police were called to the scene after one man was hit about the head and body after an altercation around 12.30 p.m.

The Royal Gazette understands that the incident was the outcome of a domestic dispute between the two men over a woman.

One man assaulted Swan with what is believed to have been a broken flower pot.

Afterward he is reported to have gone to the nearby House of India restaurant, and told someone in the shop to call the Police.

When the officers arrived, he gave himself up without a struggle.

Three officers combed the scene behind the house collecting pieces of the smashed flower pot. They placed all the pieces in brown paper bags and left the area.

Swan, 44, of Pembroke, was helped into an ambulance. He had dried blood on his shirt and back. He held a towel over his head which covered a cut on his right eye.

A Police spokesman said that Police have arrested a 36-year-old man in connection with the incident. Inquiries are continuing.
