A man was arrested in Cane Garden Bay following an altercation outside a local business on the evening of September 28.

The Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) said the incident began as a verbal confrontation before escalating into a physical altercation, leaving one man with minor injuries. According to the RVIPF, officers responded to a call at around 7:21 pm on the day in question after receiving reports of the altercation.
