Last night, the Mas Camps continued across the city - and we'll show you that later....but at one camp, revelry turned into knife play when a fight got out of hand. While the young revelers of Pickstock Carnival Band were showing off their dance moves- two ladies were busy showing off some of their wrestling skills.
It happened shortly after the judges left the mas camp. One of the women attacked the other with a butcher knife which started a dangerous brawl. Roving camera-man Phillip "Father" Henry was there and told Seven News what he saw what happened.

"What happen is that I was out here to assist Gabby by stopping the traffic from passing. There was a lot people back and forth to see the kids perform. I see 2 female had an altercation. They had like a 'beef' with one another, the other one saw her and she came and attack her. She had a 9 inch knife in her hand, she went up too close to the other individual who is really huge girl with masculine body and they when she hold her hand, lift her very high above her head and slam her face into the earth and she took away the knife, but I shout please don't stab her, and that's when she put away the knife and run her into the cement fence. After that I call 911 and the police rush in, they took a while to reach. That's when the fight cool down, but approximately 5 minutes after there were some guys from other well known gang area in Belize came through and was looking on but they seems to see someone who they have a problem with and they started another huge brawl that have the kids rushing all over the place."
No one was stabbed but one of the ladies received minor cuts which were caused while struggling to take away the knife.
According to reports, the stabbing led to a shooting later on in the night when one of the groups involved allegedly called on a city gang for back-up.
