Craft market brawl injures man and woman
Two individuals are receiving medical treatment for head injuries following a fight at the Craft Market in St. John’s.
According to reports, a man and a woman visited the Craft Market around 1:30 pm, where they got into a dispute with a business operator. The altercation was allegedly aggravated by a post on Facebook.
During the brawl, the business operator used a bag with a weapon to hit both individuals, resulting in injuries. The man sustained more severe injuries than the woman, who suffered a head laceration that is not believed to be life-threatening.
The police detained the business operator at the scene and are investigating the incident.
The operator is currently being questioned as part of the investigation.
