Two in hospital after chopping incident

This next story involves two men and a machete, but not much else in terms of details. Reports are that around 2:30 on Saturday morning a man, identified as Celestino Zetina, walked onto Yorke Street carrying a machete. Not long afterwards, 28-year old Everald Bodden, a resident of Yorke Street, says he heard something in his yard and went outside to look around. He found Zetina, who was still holding the machete, and before long the two started to argue. They took turns using the machete and in the end, Zetina sustained multiple cuts to his body while Bodden received several chop wounds to his head. Hospital officials tell News Five both men are in a stable condition. The motive behind this incident has yet to be established.
