Fast rising dancehall artiste Tanto Blacks was stabbed at least three times last Friday night, after he had an altercation with another man.
"A pure stab reach inna me back ... unno coulda hear seh Tanto Blacks dead," he told THE STAR.
Tanto explained that he was stabbed after he had asked the man, who he said is his friend, to vacate a place he had rented to him. He said he rented the place to the man for a while now but recently gave him an eviction notice.
According to Tanto, the tenant was reluctant to leave and decided to stay despite being given adequate time to leave and identify somewhere else.
Tanto said last Friday, he confronted the man who showed no immediate sign of wanting to leave. He said he went into the house and began removing the blades from a window when he was stabbed in his back. "Him stab me up and then him run ... him stab me three times," Tanto said. "A 17 years me know this yute yah and him stab me inna mi back inna mi own place."
A report was made to the police and following investigations, the alleged assaulter was arrested and charged. The incident was confirmed by the investigating officer, Constable S Sewell from the Spanish Town Police Station. No immediate court date was given.
Tanto received treatment at the Spanish Town Hospital before getting additional treatment at a private medical practice. "Me alright inno ... me glad seh him deh a jail ... me no wah nothing happen to him," he told THE STAR.
