Jamaican charged in US for alleged machete attack

A Jamaican man who allegedly attacked another man with a machete was on Monday taken into custody by police in New Jersey, United States.

Romario Douglas, 27, is said to have fled the scene of a June 22 incident in which he slashed the wrist of a man with a machete during a dispute.

Police tracked down Douglas and arrested him on Monday, before charging him with aggravated assault and weapons possession. .

He is to make his first appearance in Central Judicial Processing Court in Paterson, New Jersey next week.
