Just after 5:30PM yesterday, 22 April, the 9-1-1 Communications Centre dispatched police to a residence in the Rock Hole neighbourhood of George Town where a man had cut two women known to him with a knife, and was holding a baby. 

Armed police deployed to the scene with a trained police negotiator.  When they arrived, the women were outside the home and the man was on the porch of the home with the baby, holding a knife, and threatening harm to the baby if police approached.
