"The first two guys, those who were stabbed, they were at this night club together, as friends?"

Supt. Richard Rosado, OC, San Ignacio
"We were made to understand that all individuals involved in the fighting were at the night club on Hudson Street."

Courtney Weatherburne
"So I guess they were all a group of friends so there was a misunderstanding between them."

Supt. Richard Rosado, OC, San Ignacio
"Yes ma'am. We are still trying to ascertain the motive but we do know that alcohol may be a contributing factor."

Police have detained the 2 culprits.
