Reggae Star Will Think Twice About Serenading The Neighbors Wife

In Brooklyn, NY yesterday '80s reggae star Major Mackerel had to fend off a neighbor wielding a samurai sword.

According to reports, Oscar Joseph, 37, who lived in the same Brooklyn multi-family home (but on different floors) as Major Mackerel, repeatedly struck the Major Mackerel with a 26-inch samurai sword because he believed the reggae artist was trying to make sexual advances with his wife.

The fight started in the foyer of the home where both men exchanged words and began fighting over the sword. The brawl then spilled onto the sidewalk where Major Mackerel (whose government name is Garfield Dixon) was slashed across his head and left hand.

Police immediately arrested Oscar and faces charges of first-degree assault and fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon.

Major Mackerel, 41, has denied flirting or making any passes at Oscar's wife.

“I was singing my song, then I see him with a sword,” he told the NY Times.

Ouch.

Here's one of his biggest hits, Dutty Bungle. Perhaps the song he was singing before Oscar went in for the kill.



Or was it this one, that set Oscar off!
