OK folks...it seems that false rumors have started....NINJA MAN LIVES......What-A-Ting! Taken from Dancehall Reggae.com posted 07-23-2001 02:36 PM --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- Popular entertainer Desmond 'Ninja Man' Ballentyne who was injured during a domestic dispute with his common law wife in Hamilton Mountain, St. Mary Wednesday is refuting claims that he injured his child. When RJR news visited the St. Ann's Bay hospital the deejay was seen sitting up in bed speaking with a visitor. He also told RJR news that to the best of his knowledge his child was not injured and is not hospitalised. According to health officials the entertainer who was admitted to hospital Wednesday is said to be on the mend. Ninjaman was rushed to the Port Maria Hospital shortly after 8 o'clock Wednesday morning after receiving five machete wounds during the altercation. He was later transferred to the St. Ann's Bay Hospital. According to the Oracabessa police Ninja Man and his common-law wife, only known as Keisha, had a domestic dispute during which it is alleged that he physically abused her and flung their three month-old baby, breaking the child's arm. The deejay also set fire to several pieces of furniture and punctured the microwave oven and other household items with a sharp instrument. Keisha's uncle, Norman Sewell, intervened in the dispute. The report says he chopped Ninjaman three times in the head; once on the jaw; and again on the right little finger. The entertainer and his three-month old baby were then rushed to hospital for treatment. The police are now searching for Mr. Sewell, also known as Jimmy for questioning in connection with the injuries inflicted to the entertainer. In the meantime, the police say Ninjaman will be charged once he has been released from hospital. Ninjaman is not dead
