Souris businessman Alan MacPhee sustains injuries at St. Games Gate
Surprising news about Alan MacPhee at St. James Gate in the Guardian, Businessman seriously hurt in attack at club
A well-known Island businessman says he was seriously injured when several men attacked him on a dance floor in a Charlottetown nightclub. Alan MacPhee says he was dancing with two women at St. James Gate late Friday night when four men jumped him.
Too bad for Alan. We hope he recovers from what would be an unexpected and unpleasant turn of events.
This is pretty alarming considering the Gate is one of PEI’s most popular waterholes and meeting places. While I’ve seen the odd fight break out, the staff were the most efficient in town at separating and removing the belligerents.
The dance floor was usually well-patrolled with athletic looking security people, at least when we used to go there which hasn’t been in a few years.
Almost from the day it first opened, The Gate was known as a safe and fun place to spend the evening for the unattached or those seeking that status. It featured efficient and friendly staff, good local bands and plenty of action of the non-pugilistic sort.
I’ve been knocked down while dancing but my balance and rowdy dancers can only be the blame. I know several people with disabilities who frequent the place.
Hmmm what could be going on? Is management losing control? What did they do to assist MacPhee?
