The man who was arrested at the Sangster International Airport in Montego Bay, St. James, in connection with the wild caught-on-camera altercation at the popular Zimi Seh Beach party, has been charged with two offences.
Dave Taylor, a 43-year-old business operator who resides in New York City, has been charged with inflicting grievous bodily harm with intent and unlawful wounding.
His attorney Donnovan Collins told The Gleaner on Thursday that he was not surprised by the decision to file charges against his client and insisted that Mr. Taylor was not involved in the altercation.
Senior Superintendent Carlos Russell, Commanding officer for the St. Ann Police Division, confirmed that a second man linked to the incident turned himself in to the Runaway Bay Police Station on Thursday.
He is to face an identification parade.
Two boys, 15 and 17 years old, both from Kingston, were injured during the altercation which was captured on video and has since gone viral.
The brawl reportedly started after a splashing incident at the popular water party hosted at Puerto Seco Beach in Discovery Bay, St. Ann, which led to an argument that quickly escalated into a physical altercation.
