Broken Bottle Attack Sparks Debate Over Alcohol Consumption

Police in the Toledo District are investigating a violent incident that left two brothers injured and their sister detained in the early hours of Sunday. One of the victims was found unconscious with injuries to his neck, while the other suffered wounds to his face.

Authorities said Roberto Pop reported that the attack followed an argument with his sister after the group had been socialising in San Antonio Village. He alleged that when he and his brother tried to leave, their sister refused and later attacked them with a broken bottle. Police have since detained the 27-year-old sister in connection with the incident.

The incident has stirred strong reactions online. Some believe alcohol may have played a role, recalling how drinking has often led to fights. One Facebook user said, “Two drinks and my father, a Maya man, would be stone drunk and want to fight anybody and anything.” He added that in the past, “the PG jail was full of my people trying to chop up each other, and the next day they get out hugging each other.”
