It was reported that the cane harvester of Rose Hall Town and 56-year-old Lawerence Rodrigues, a labourer of the same community were having ongoing feuds.

Rodrigues reportedly removed his pedal cycle from in front of his premises, which caused the cane harvester to arm himself with a cutlass and subsequently dealt the victim several chops about his body.

Video footage captured on the incident showed the cane cutter unleashing several chops at Rodrigues who lay helpless on the ground and using the bicycle to bar off some of the chops.
