CUSTOMERS SCREAMED IN TERROR and staff froze in fear at the Rubis gas station in Wildey, St Michael last weekend, when a fracas which started on the street turned into an all-out brawl inside the facility’s minimart.

A man in his early 20s is now hospitalised and in serious condition at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital (QEH) nursing stab wounds after the fight, which involved more than a half-dozen men.

Blood was on the floor, items thrown off the shelves and the station was left ransacked in the wee hours of last Sunday.

Dawn-Lisa Callender-Smith, an eyewitness, told of how she was frozen in her vehicle in the station, moments after making a purchase inside the minimart.
