![Between October 2nd and October 8th, hundreds of Dominican troops, who came mostly from other areas of the country, poured into the Cibao,[8] and used rifles, machetes, shovels, knives, and bayonets to kill Haitians. Haitian babies were reportedly thrown in the air and caught by soldiers' bayonets, then thrown on their mothers' corpses.[18][27]
Dominican troops beheaded thousands of Haitians, and took others to the port of Montecristi, where they were thrown into the Atlantic Ocean to drown with their hands and feet bound, some with wounds inflicted by the soldiers in order to attract sharks.[28] Survivors who managed to cross the border and return to Haiti told stories of family members being hacked with machetes and strangled by the soldiers, and children bashed against rocks and tree trunks.[28]
The use of military units from outside the region was not always enough to expedite soldiers' killings of Haitians. US legation informants reported that many soldiers "confessed that in order to perform such ghastly slaughter they had to get 'blind' drunk."[29] Several months later, a barrage of killings and repatriations of Haitians occurred in the southern frontier.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ytps3r4z5ab4irvrgsjk3ist/bafkreib6mxtfg4ggd6vtodzyil2qql6sbuas3j43mhvkjkcypw7xdt2fpy)
