– Melee started with suspect trying to jump the queue

A public dispute outside a Superbet outlet in Leonora took a violent turn on Friday evening, when a man identified as Javier Kubair, a 23-year-old driver from Edinburgh, caused a confrontation with several customers, before fleeing the scene armed with a cutlass.
According to police reports, the altercation began at approximately 20:15h. when Kubair attempted to purchase his bets before others in line at the Superbet outlet below the District Bar.
This move sparked a verbal dispute with several other customers, including 24-year-old Fazal Jabbar from Patentia, and 42-year-old Donia Alleyne, a businessman from Anna Catherina.
The situation quickly escalated when Kubair, after leaving the shop, retrieved a cutlass from his vehicle and returned to the scene.
He reportedly began threatening the group of customers, prompting them to defend themselves with rocks and pieces of wood.
In a panic, Kubair who persons said was the ‘troublemaker’ fled into the District Sports Bar, seeking refuge from the crowd.
Police officers from the Anti-Crime Patrol responded promptly to the scene. Both Kubair and several other individuals involved in the incident were escorted to the Leonora Police Station for questioning.
Statements were taken and reports filed.
