She told the Blade the police were nowhere to be found during the incident. DMarco said local residents chased one of the men who allegedly attacked Brown and he is now in police custody.

Thank God good Bahamians were around to run after the boys, she told the Blade.

These tourists are our bread and butter, added DMarco. This stuff cannot be going ok at international events we host here in the Bahamas.
