Police have launched a search for a man who stabbed another man outside George Town’s courthouse following a fight at a Pirates Week event over the past weekend.
The suspect, who stabbed the victim in the chest, fled the scene before police arrived. Police conducted a search but have so far failed to track him down.
Police said the incident happened after a fight broke out between two men in the open area outside the Edward Street courts building at about 10pm on Saturday, 15 Nov.

He was treated overnight for serious but non-life-threatening injuries and self-discharged the next day.
Police said the attacker was tall, dark-skinned and wearing black clothes.
The police spokesperson said the area was busy at the time and appealed for witnesses to come forward.
