The christening service for a five-year-old at a church in Waterloo district, St Elizabeth, was recently the scene of chaos when a fight broke out among the child's parents and another woman who attended the service with the child's father.

Information reaching The Star is that about 1:50 p.m., the mother of the child, who is from Westmoreland, brought her baby to the church to be christened. While there, awaiting the arrival of the child's father, who is a police officer, it is said that he showed up at the church with another woman, much to Jones' disapproval.

Both women then got involved in a heated argument, which later developed into a brawl inside the church, in full view of those in attendance. It was at this point that the child's father intervened, beating up his babymother.
