A night of parties which culminated in J'Ouvert revelry for the annual Point Fortin Borough celebrations left one man in hospital after he was stabbed and four others in police custody for throwing glass bottles at a fast-food outlet.

ACP Wayne Mystar, who is the gold commander for the celebrations, told Newsday a man was stabbed during an altercation with another reveller. He said the man was taken to the Point Fortin Hospital but could not give an update on the man's condition.

In another incident, some revellers began throwing glass bottles at a fast-food outlet and police responded quickly and were able to arrest four men.
