New Bedford altercation involving 15 people at Top Shelf restaurant, at least one stabbed

“On Sunday March 17th, at around 2 AM, north-end units responded to “Top Shelf” regarding a fight in progress.

Upon arrival, it was learned that one male had sustained an injury to his face and had been taken to the hospital. It was soon learned that a second male had arrived at St. Luke’s hospital with a non-life-threatening stab wound.

According to the report, officers were unable to take photos of blood splatters due to the fact that employees washed them away. Neither injured party cooperated with the police.

At this time, one of the males involved, Mr. CLYDE PERRY, 27, is being charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon for striking the second male in the face. The entire matter remains under investigation, and the report will be forwarded to the liquor licensing board for further scrutiny.”-City of New Bedford Police Department.
