BRIDGETOWN, Barbados, September 9, 2025 — Several members of the St Kitts & Nevis Patriots team were involved in a frightening incident early Tuesday morning in Barbados, just days ahead of their Caribbean Premier League (CPL) clash against the Barbados Royals.
The players, along with a team official, were returning to their hotel after attending a private birthday event. On their way back, the group made a stop to purchase food when the situation quickly turned alarming.
According to preliminary reports, while awaiting their order, the group observed a man allegedly assaulting another individual nearby. Moments later, the aggressor turned his attention toward them, prompting the players and the official to flee in fear for their safety.
In the chaos, the suspect reportedly caught up with one of the team officials and forcibly snatched a valuable piece of jewellery. A struggle ensued, during which the assailant allegedly dropped a firearm. That weapon has since been recovered by the Barbados Police Service (BPS) as part of an active investigation.
Team sources confirmed that while the group was shaken, all members are safe and cooperating fully with the authorities.
The St Kitts & Nevis Patriots remain in Barbados as they prepare for their next CPL fixture against the Barbados Royals, scheduled for Thursday at Kensington Oval.
The Barbados Police Service has not released further details as the investigation continues. No arrests had been reported at the time of publication.
