The incident took place last night while Anderson was aboard the vessel harbour master……a popular party boat that frequents Barbados, Trinidad and Tobago and several other Eastern Caribbean Islands.

In the video Anderson, who is regarded as a national icon in Grenada, was surrounded by several men, said to be crew members of the vessel.

The 24 year old who was subsequently thrown to the floor and then pushed off the boat, later received medical attention for minor injuries.
