At 3:15am on Friday, June 8th 2012, police officers were outside a popular Dockyard night spot when a disturbance took place in the street involving 15-20 persons. Some of those involved were visitors. As a result, additional police units were called to the scene. In the meantime, officers already at the location dispersed the combatants and made one arrest. After interview, that man was released without charge.

At this time the Bermuda Police Service has not received a formal complaint regarding this matter. One male visitor was injured, but he did not require hospital treatment. There were no other injuries reported and no weapons were brandished.

In line with our commitment to have additional resources in the Dockyard area during the summer period, the Bermuda Police Service will continue to monitor those levels and respond appropriately.

An investigation into this incident is ongoing. Officers are interested in speaking with any person who may have footage or saw what happened in the Dockyard area around 3:15am Friday, June 8th. Anyone with any information is encouraged to contact the Somerset Criminal Investigation Unit on 234-1010 or the independent and confidential Crime Stoppers hotline on 800-8477.
